New to me ski. Went to change the oil and it was a milky brown. Not a color I like seeing from an engine. I just bought this a month or so ago. Engine runs great. Recently changed the plugs and they looked fine as well. The oil on the stick was fine when I checked it before buying, normal oil color, so I was a bit surprised when emptied the oil container after draining. Filter looked ok as well, and didn't appear to have a milky appearance to it. I know the ski was stored outside over the winter, so wonder if maybe some condensation snuck in there. Coolant level is right where it should be. I would think if coolant was getting into the oil, the coolant level would go down and the oil level would go up, but that does not seem to be the case. Both fluid levels were fine. So does condensation seem like a viable cause here? I'm hoping to put her in the water in the next month or so once the water warms up a bit. Figured I would drive it a bit and then change the oil again.
Thanks!
