It looks milky to me. I would check your coolant level, as it appears you may have a leaking water pump seal.

When you say 4 hours, do you mean that the engine is new and has run for 4 hours or it is 4 hours since you changed the oil?

If it is 4 hours since an oil change, was the last oil like this or have you changed oil brand? What oil are you using?

I would drain the oil and run it through a coffee filter paper to see what's in it. Like an old teabag for instance.

Have you been riding in deep water? Has the right side power valve vent re-routed? It is possible to pull water through this vent hose if doing deep water crossings. I re-route this and zip-ty it to the upper rad hose.

That will do it. Riding into water that is much colder than the engine can cause a pressure change that will suck water in through the vent hoses. Routing them high can reduce / eliminate that problem.

If you have not ridden in water since you last changed oil, you probably have a small leak in the water pump seal, clutch case gasket or cylinder base gasket.

Default Clutch oil color

My 2018 is terrible about doing this. Pretty sure it’s the PV vent as stated above

I've ran my PV vent back into the air intake.. the XC and US models probably have it blanked off, but mine had some other breathers running there..

I drowned my bike last ride and my oil looks alright still.
