May 12, 200620 yr Well I've been filling the 125 up with Dexron III for a couple of months but the latest Motul stuff has me worried. The last lot went a pink colour from the red. I've drained that out and replaced it but it worries me. Anybody seen anything like this before????
May 13, 200620 yr I agree with R2W, I run the Dexron II in my gasgas and the only time that I have seen the oil turn pink is when the water pump seal failed and started to let water into the clutch housing. Check your water level and see if you have lost any? It's difficult to tell if the water pump seal has failed just by looking at it because they are so small, unless ofcourse that it is obvious and there is a chunk missing. It's better just to replace the seal anyway, sometimes the water pump shaft also gets a lip worn into it and that needs replaced also, maybe that only applies to the gasgas, I'm not sure, but might be worth checking anyway. The seal and shaft are not that expensive, so worth it in the long run. Hope it helps.
