Ok... No crude jokes. Smiley

While I'm waiting for my ankle fracture to heal, I'm starting to work around the bike to get ready for riding season.

I noticed that there was some fluid in the capped off tube. I pulled the hose clip off and pulled the cap. What came out looked like water and motor oil. It did not smell like gasoline.

Any idea of what came out of the tube?

Thanks!

Some blow by oil and water. It should be drained regularly, especially after riding in the rain.

Thanks! I didn't realize it was essentially crankcase condensation. I knew I needed to drain it, just not what was in it.

I appreciate the fast response.

I drain my drool every 5k miles when I change the oil (but have skipped it every so often).   I have never gotten more than a tea spoon of drool.   Of course I try to not ride in the rain and live in dry location.
