He said rear main and freeze plug, that would be engine. No fluid except engine oil to change. I think he's talking milky in trans.

Ah yes, I just re-read the thread. Not sure shy I was thinking he had fluids all replaced when split.
So if this is old fluid, it is not uncommon to have moisture even if only from cool/warm condensation (at least in mine) after years. Since I replaced my milky fluids, they stay clean and moisture free, but it is also stored in a barn now.

remember, cold, the water may be at the bottom of the sump. after running, it will be emulsified.
foaming in the tranny? It's possible if you are running a very incorrect tranny fluid... i'd still suspect water.
if this was the rear / hyds.. then yeah.. foaming can be a suction leak.
when it's cold, crack the tranny drain plug. see if you start getting water dripping out.. it should be on the bottom of the sump.

Re: Milky Hydraulic Fluid
the freezeplug is on the engine.. not the trans.
he's saying he split to do the rear main.. and you always do the hard to get to rear freeze plug when you are split.
these have nothing to do with the oil in the trans sump..

Re: Milky Hydraulic Fluid
Speaking of the rear engine freeze plug. I recently put one in my 631. I didn't have the engine split and though a bit of a pain you can get them in.I got the plug from the ford dealer and i would bet the plugs aren't made in the USA. In taking out the old plugs in my 631 and last year changed out one in my 881 I noticed that the old plugs had more of square edge than the new ones. New ones was more concaved. Seems like less plug surface was in contact with the block. No I didn't mic the plugs but you could see the difference.
Seem like we are getting more and more cheap parts from overseas that are not or barely not up to specs.
Sorry, I just had to vent. We don't make anything in this country anymore. This is why I save all my old parts cause I can usually make them fit and work.

Completely agree. I had a box of older brass core plugs from napa i used up, and when i bought some of them new soft plugs.. they were lower quality.
While not a fan of 'goop' I clean the holes and run a finger smear of permatex #2 around the hole in case of pitting. I too have noticed the reduced surface area, which concerns me on these old cast iron bores that may get porous with ptting after 5-6-7 decades.
been lucky so far with no leakers.
On another note.. these cheap plugs seem SOFTER than ever before.. and go in easier.
