Bought a project GL1000 w sidecar and rebuilt the carbs. Once that was done I drained the coolant and oil. Coolant looked ok but the oil was gray. Obviously contaminated with water or gas. Thing is there is no steam coming from exhaust and neither of the heads are leaking water. Wondering if the fuel pump diaphragm could be leaking and letting gas get into the crankcase. It would have to be a lot because the oil is very gray, has a strong smell of gas.
What is the best way to check for a head gasket failure?
Can I fill the case with diesel fuel to clean it out and then refill with clean oil?
thx
