02 Sporty 500 eating antifreeze

[bigswede]

I have a 02 500 that all of a sudden seems to have started to eat antifreeze. It appears that it is going into the oil reservoir, but I am not sure 100%. I am thinking head gasket, but again not sure. It doesnt seem to blow any smoke like a car does when teh head goes, and doent seem to have any bubbles when wathcing the liquid circulate. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

I woould say head gasket also. check to see if there is alot of white smoke coming out of the exhaust.

If its getting into your oil it will turn milky when the machine has been run. The oil & water will seperate when it sits and it will be harder to see. If this is the case I would get it fixed ASAP, water in the oil is no good!

it doesnt seem to be milky. I checked tha the other day. I am thinking I will have to get it in. Better safe than sorry. Thanks for the help.

Talked to my fix it guy last night and he says that the 02's and 03's are notorious for the head gaskets going. Man I swear this Polaris is jinxed....
