Antifreeze disappearing !!
Noticed my antifreeze bottle kept getting low... Every day I put more in it to make sure I wasn't crazy.. So I replaced the head gasket, so I can delete that from the equation... i took the oil cooler off a running motor that I had laying around so I'm 99% sure that isn't leaking into the oil... What does that leave ? When I was looking around with a flash light I noticed little bubbles of water/oil mix coming out the pto cover gasket. I have a new one I'm going to put on but that isn't what's letting the oil an antifreeze mix is it ? Any input is big to me as I am fairly new to 4 strokes. Thanks

Well last night I pumped 13psi in the antifreeze container an I noticed the coolant was pissing out the pto cover. I took the pto cover off an seen the gasket was ripped. So my guess is that it was leaking down into the pto which was putting it directly into my oil an also pissing it out into my hull

Problem is that you should not have antifreeze getting into the PTO cover ... possible cracked block?

Antifreeze travels through the pto cover gasket to get to the water pump and back. ....

Phew, so maybe only a bad PTO gasket? That would be good news ...
