Took my 07 (30k miles) in to have valves inspected and generally gone through - fork oil, clutch fluid, tires, etc.
Mechanic just called me to tell me that when all the work was done, he was warming it up to test ride before delivery, and noticed coolant dripping from the exhaust weep holes (from mufflers) and sight glass shows emulsified oil. He estimates the bike lost a quart of coolant into the oil system in a matter of 10 minutes of idling.
He is now stripping it back down and is saying it's either a blown water pump seal, blown head gaskets, or a cracked head.
Bike has never left any coolant on the ground, and oil level has always been rock stable, though there was some dirt/grime around water pump weep hole (as is fairly normal).
Thoughts?
