Matbro tr200 oil in water

[Ryanmag13]

Hi all,

My matbro tr200 is letting oil into the water. I've looked and the transmission cooler and it looks fairly new. Also replaced the engine oil cooler as when I tested the one one in a bucket of water it appeared to be leaking. I've flushed the water out 4/5 times now but it is still quite murky looking once ran for a few minutes. I'm hoping this is just the oil from before cleaning itself out.

If this is not the case, where else could the oil be entering the water?

Thanks in advance

Head gasket gone I’d say

If your using clear oil in the transmission swap it out for the RED ATF which is what should be in it anyway IMO, that way if you have water in the transmission it will turn pink milkshake colour and if it goes the other way in to the engine the water will have pink scum in it.

Trans cooler is the most common to fail, second would be the timing case corroding or if the water pump drain holes are blocked then could leak oil/water internally rather than draining out the holes.

engine oil coolers rarely fail in my experience.

Thanks for the replies,

I presume the water pump is fixable, just pull it off and check the drain holes etc.

If the timing case is the problem is that fixable or is it game over at that stage? Again I presume pull the timing cover off and inspect.

Thanks again

It's all fixable.
Water pumps are cheap so if that's the problem just fit a new genuine one, same with timing case.

If I pull the old water pump off will it be obvious enough that the holes are blocked?

What about the head gasket as suggested above? If there a possibility that could be my problem?

Thanks

the holes in the water pump are external, so you can poke them to clean out if needed.

its very unlikely to be the headgasket IMO

first thing is decide if its engine oil or transmission oil and work from there.

Will do cheers. I had the oil cooler off and the oil in the pipes was red, however on the dipstick at the back of the cab (which I presume is the transmission oil) the oil looks to be clear like engine oil
