After my last problem with my oil being overfilled I brought the bike outside to warm up really well. I was on the throttle pretty good when I noticed coolant coming from my waterpump weeping hole and the even worse.....I noticed something on the other side of the bike. ..a drop of white milky oil come from the valve cover breather hose! Any speculations?😯😯
As far as water coming out of the waterpump, why would it release there as opposed to the cap overflow?
Could my initial problem where the bike doesn't want to idle be a head gasket problem that gets worse the warmer it gets?

So, the few drops of milky oil in the breather may be innocuous and unrelated to the leak at the weep hole. The leak at the pump may be a simple seal as Paw paw said. Also, open your rad cap with the bike running and see if you get any bubbles indicating a compression leak from a blown head gasket. You could also do a leak down test.
I pulled the rad cap of and watched the water swerling but not bubbling. I think the leaking from the seals is only a leaking waterpump seal if anything. I didn't notice anything come from my valve cover breather tonight but I did not run it nearly as long on the stand and it is just a little warmer than freezing temps today.
Anyway, if anyone has suggestions as to how the bike is running or throttling up from idle position I'd love to hear it!
Thanks again!
