    I have an '82 CD200 Benly, and every week or so, when I check the oil,
    its a creamy colour (Water is getting in) but from where?

    There are no obvious leaks anywhere, and its beginning to get on my
    nerves!

    Thanks, Owen

    I have an '82 CD200 Benly, and every week or so, when I check the oil,
    Do you put any mileage on it? Condensation moisture will accumulate in the
    oil if the engine is not run long enough to get hot and evaporate the stuff
    out.

    Fwiw, check the crankcase breather system for a blockage.

    As a Benly is air-cooled, it isn't the cooling system leaking ;-))

    What you're seeing is moisture from condensation - in other words,
    you're only using it for short trips and the poil isn't getting hot
    enough to evaporate all the moisture

    Take it out and thrash it hard for 50 miles......
