Water in oil. 2005 gtx supercharged. Supposed to be upgraded to a 255

[kluttrell169]

Looking for help.
Test drove unit seller said he might have turned the water on before starting unit and caused the water in oil issue. Figured I’d take the chance purchased the unit changed the oil, flushed the coolant system just to check for oil in water didn’t see anything mixed there. Took unit to the lake Ron for 30 while engine oil was hot figured I would change it again however I noticed there was about a quart more oil than I remember putting in. Hopefully I just didn’t get the ski level when I checked it. Change oil again and this time I left the oil level mid way on the dip stick marks to verify if I am pulling in water from some where. Can someone help me diagnose the head gasket and intercooler. In pretty sure I’ve figured out how to inspect the oil cooler plan on working on it Saturday.

Well the seller was nice to inform you he flooded the engine with water while doing a flush. Did he happen mention if he had run the ski after he flooded it? Not good if he did. If the ski came with a owners manual you should read the section on a water flooded engine. The first steps are not to start it and to drain the intake and exhaust systems of water. If you run it without draining first you are pumping water from both systems into the engine and then into the oil. That’s probably why your oil quantity increased when you ran it. I would suggest getting a service manual, the procedure for dealing with a water flooded engine is detailed there.

Thanks I’ll start with that.

How ever I don’t believe he gave me any manual. I did order a cd still service manual with parts brake down I’ll look at it tonight and see if that information is in there

To check the oil the procedure is machine level ,to run it for 30 seconds , wait 30 seconds and then check it.
If you add oil then repeat. If you wait a while after running the level will be very different because all the oil drains down. Unless your oil is showing signs of water then don't worry so much, it's hard for the engine to ingest large amounts of water without something like the antifreeze going down.

Is there a pdf file online I can order for the owners manual eBay is over a week out on delivery

Pretty sure the owner’s manuals are available on the Sea-Doo website

Engine has water in oil but I’m not sure if it is in the coolant I’ll do a pressure check this weekend

You can get water or coolant in the oil, but never heard of anyone getting water in the coolant. Coolant is already 50% water, unless you meant coolant in the oil. There would be no reason why you would have coolant in the oil from a water flooded engine, completely different problem like a blown head gasket.

Yes sorry typed to fast. I’m going to pressure check the coolant to verify it’s not getting into the oil.
I am hoping that it is in fact the previous owner did turn on the water hose before doing a oil change. As I have done two oil changes and not seen a improvement. Was not aware that there is a proper way to remove water after someone has possibly flooded the engine.

The reason your not seeing any improvement is that you have water trapped in the intake and exhaust systems. Your wasting good oil changing it without first getting the water out of the intake and exhaust systems. Every time you start it you are sucking fresh water thru the intake valves into the engine. Forget the coolant pressure test and get the water out. Read your service manual.

Unfortunately the unit didn’t come with a manual, I order a service manual for it thanks for the advice.
