If you continue to get milky oil there are o-rings on one of the brass, oil line fittings going into the v-drive that deteriorate and allow water to get into the oil reservoir. Water circulates around that oil line and enters into the v-drive housing to cool it down.

Jan288 I had read something about that in a post on here, but when I called James @ WaterJunkies here in Houston, he said he didn't think it would be that as the level of the oily-water was REALLY high in the Vdrive and that since it sat out for so long in Houston (we have had really wet 12 months that it probably flooded on the trailer. I pumped out as much as I could, but when we used it Saturday it still had milky oil. Gonna try one more time to pump it out, and then take it in for professional help.Comment

I know it may be hard to reach, but if you can drain it instead of sucking it out, you will drain more of the water sitting below the oil. I use a square one quart ziploc plastic food container positioned under the drain plug, pushed slightly in front. It fits in small places and stays flat in the bilge. I use basic SAE 30 lawn mower oil, Lowes or HD. These gears are tough, a couple drains and no milkiness and you may be okay. If not, I would take it in.Comment
