Not sure if this is the best category for my post, but hopefully it is.
Parking today I checked the sight glass on my 08 wrr. Sadly I saw about .5cm of murky water sitting above the oil. It's been raining a lot lately but I highly doubt that's of relevance. I changed the oil when I purchased the bike 1500 miles ago. From the sound of the previous owner, I would not be surprised if the bike sat for a while, and outside.
I'm pretty comfortable working on bikes so I will be diving in to it soon. I'm thinking it's likely a water pump gasket or something near there. Is this a common issue with wrr's and is there a usual fix? Should I look for anything first? I hope it has nothing to do with the cylinder/head.
