Hello, I just acquired an 04 gtx 155 and took it out and it will not accelerate beyond 38-40, and the check engine light came on at 25mph after riding for a few minutes. I noticed some consistent smoking from the back ,but nothing crazy. The hours are 138. I wondered if you could point me in the right direction. I took two photos, one of the valve cover, which shows some type of sealant was used. Also, I noticed when I rinsed the engine there was water coming from the front exhaust hose that connects to the muffler. From what I can tell, there is likely an oil pressure or exhaust cooling issue. The prior owner had an oil sensor replaced, but it appears there is additional issues. When I ran the engine and stopped it, I checked the oil and there was pressure that was released when I took it out.
Is it normal to see small amounts of water leaking from the front exhaust hose that connects to the muffler?
What is the likely issue with the oil pressure based on my explanation?
Thank you in advance for your time and any direction you may be able to offer.
