This doesn't look good but might explain my clutch issues-looks like water to me

Well after replacing the clutch and cleaning the steels in March the issues went away...  for a few weeks.  When it came back it also developed a new symptom.  If reving above 2k in 1st at a stop it would start moving forward.  Changed the oil and all has gone away for now.  Reason I sy for now is that I used the same Castrol 4t power rs as the previous change.  I am 100% convinced that in about a 1000 miles it will degrade enough that the symptoms return.

If that were the case I wouldn't have any coolant in the system now.  Haven't added any since February and it hasn't changed from the mark.  I tend to think the only reason why I was loosing as much as I was is because I had a habit of keeping it on the high line on the overflow and when it heated up I would loose some thru the bipass tube.  Oh and now that the weather is a bit warmer the condensate seems to be burning up more making me thing that Triumph just did a poor job with their condensate set up as gravity works against letting it return to the intake.  Oil had zero milkiness in it when I drained it btw (had maybe 2500-3000 miles on it)
