Hey all-
Recently purchased a new to me 2018 GTR 230 with 125hrs on it.
Did a fresh oil change/plugs for the season and hit the water.
After about 6.5 hours over about two weeks of riding- Low oil pressure light flashed on.
Checked the oil to find there's nothing on the dipstick.
Pulled the plugs, and it looks like there's some oil inside cylinder 1, and a little bit in cylinder 2, and 3 looked clear.
There was also a little oil inside the cylinder well on both 1/2.
Did a compression check, and it all looked good.
Coolant level hasn't moved, and is still a pink/red color.
The ski doesn't smoke and doesn't smell of burnt oil, doesn't sputter, with no hesitation or loss of power.
Person I had purchased it from had removed the factory exhaust and installed a "straight pipe"- and pretty sure never had the machine tuned for that change..
Not sure if that could be causing some issues?
Looks as though there's a bit of milky oil inside by the impeller when I raise up the VTS and can get a clear look inside.
Not sure if it's burning the oil, or just blowing it out the exhaust at this point.
Looking for some ideas as to what this might be before I take it to the dealer-
Thanks in advance!
