First Impressions
Been sent these photos of a Yam by a friend... Any ideas on first impression? The milky oil is coming out of the air box, and the dip stick is full..

Or possibly failed base gasket or corroded casting at bottom of block or top of leg any of those things will cause water in the oil you won't know until it's stripped
