I changed my oil today in my 2006 attak and it came out milky. When i first pulled the drain plug about and ounce of water came out and then the milky looking oil. It doesn't appear that i have lost any coolant and the liquid in the oil was clear. This machine has been stored in an enclosed trailer for about six months and I thought possibly the liquid was from condensation. Has anyone seen anything like this?
 
If you live in northern areas where there is a big change in temp from day to night or from day to day than condensation will happen,

I've always stored my sleds in a enclosed trailer and never had water in the oil,

Which drain plug did the water come out from (oil tank, drain under motor)

I would double check the coolant,
 
The water came out of the crankcase drain plug. The trailer and sled were in upstate ny.
 
The only way the oil should come out milky is if the engine is run with water in the oil.
 
Its never a good idea to run an engine while in storage. Not sure if it caused your issues or not but when running in storage your machine never gets warm enought to disipate all the moisture. All you are doing is creating condensation.
