I heard that the 700's are known for having a gasket in the waterpump go bad and break up. When the do then you loose your antifreeze. My 04 has never had an issue in 1800 miles but my buddies exact same machine had the problem in 1200. but i didnt think it was supposed to mix into the oil. Just a place to start asking around?
