Hello to all , I had a nasty moment when checking oil levels today .
When I removed the gear-oil filler a white cream came pouring out , way over level and emulsified ,
must be water I guess , what else would turn it creamy white?
but how has water got in there?
I have drained the box and flushed it a couple of times with engine oil now it is re-filled with good gear oil.
So what was that all about ? any ideas? could it froth like that and go creamy maybe? If it had the wrong oil in there?
much obliged to any helpful hints that will get me to the answer, Steve Heed
