You may have put the seals in backwards. They must go in a specific direction. If that is ok, is the water on the right side oil, or left side oil? Right side you have a seal problem, Left side you have a head gasket. The cylinder wont crack unless destroyed. Replace head gasket and the bad oil on bad side. Chaz Moto DC

Hi. I have a Honda crf 450 r 2004, and I discovered that there is water from the cooling system in the oil. I can see it thru the inspection glass of the engine. Where is the leek?? Please help...

there is really only two ways for oil to enter the oil (1) is the oil and water seals fitted on the water pump impellor or (2) the other is head gasket leak
the most common on MX bikes is the oil and water seal at the impellor (water pump)
if your not to mechanical minded then both of these issues you would be best to take to dealer to rectify as they bit tricky to do with out experience.
if you are mechanical minded then either problem is fairly cheap to fix about $25 for the oil water seals or about $70 for the head gasket
let me know if you want me to elaborate on either issue
good luck regards Jamie

Engine oil is mixing with coolant

You need to find it, and not run it, as coolant in the oil destroys things fast. Pressure test your coolant system to find a leak. You might be looking at head gasket, or even water pump seal area to start.

I think water go in to the engine oil of my bike, what can cause that? crf450, 2004

Water pump oil seal is not a possible cause. Even if the water and oil seal were so worn out that the coolant passed through both seals the weep hole in the crankcase cover would have to be completely stopped up and sealed. In that case it would leak into the transmission oil not the engine oil. The coolant leak would likely be in the cylinder/head area.

I was riding yesterday when my bike started making funny noises, sounded like a stuck valve or something, so what i did was get engine flush, did the prescribed things, then when i wanted to drain the oil...

It seems the head gasket has blown thus the water /coolant in to the engine.. you will have to replace the head gasket and flush out the engine.
Hope this helps!
