I had this with mine, was water pump seal, replaced it twice withinm100 mile as the first wire I'd caught the seal :/ I'd suggest replacing it again and giving the engine a good Clean out then a couple of oil changes after , what i didmall
good since:)

Absolute bastard mate. Once it goes it can be a right git to sort out. Had the same on my 2001 dtr. Gave up in the end and let it be.

DTR,s can suffer from condensation in the clutch casing. That turns the oil milky also. If you not loosing coolant don't worry about it to much.

dont take a lot of water to turn it milky ... check the oil filler cap is air tight and the rubber seal is ok . had problems like this in past where the top of the gasket was not seated right or the oil cap/plug thingy I used to wash my bikes all the time so water was always getting clutch casing gaskets are some times over looked as you dont always see a oil leak on the top side .

so maybe not always the water pump seal first check for other ways water could be getting in there .

do you jet wash or hose clean the bike a lot ?

I fixed the problem today and was shocked by what I found as the bloke that fixed it last time had used loads of gasket sealent around the o ring that seals metal pipe that comes out of the waterpump housing and when I removed the water pump there was a load of sealant that had wrapped around the back of the waterpump shaft and had ruined the seal. disbelief
