Water in engine oil.. BE CAREFULL!!

So like many I pressure wash my bike and clean it off often. Recently I was concerned when I found brownish engine oil indicating water or heavy moisture in the oil. This can be very bad for rod and main bearings. The cause seems to be where the tac cable goes into the engine/tranny. I used clear RVT to seal it up, its pretty important to make sure water does not contaminate the oil. Also make sure the timming mark screw on the magnito cover is tight along with any other possible ways of entrance.

Just thought id share, ride on!
