Milky Oil

[Flamingo]

I have been away on vacation to the Redneck Riviera/ I checked the wash out and noticed a milky oil puddle under one of the pumps..I looked at the oil viewing window and it was over full.I opened the fill cap and it was full of real nilky looking oil-water. I have Hypro-pumps -any advice would be greatly appreciated

You have either a bad seal or a cracked plunger. Time to service or replace the pump.

I haven't had much experience working on these pumps,I have 6 access screw caps in front that hold the plungers .Is this where the bad seals/oil rings are located?

Nope. Those hold the check valves. You have to remove the head to access the plunger or seals.

It sounds to me like you should call out a service tech and watch him like a hawk so you learn about rebuilding your pumps. Water in the oil is never a good thing.

milk

Mep nailed it. Or a bad "O" ring under the bolt that is on the end of the plunger

Thanks, I have the pump head off and am waiting on KleenRite to send me the seal kit.I didn't see anything obvious that looked bad .There is a lot of oxidation.
