Water pump seal would be my first guess, but I'm not a Tri-Z guy. Someone will chime in shortly. :welcome:

How is your waterpump shaft, bearing and seal? I had the same problem and that was it. If the bearings are shot that may wear your impellar shaft and that will cause it to leak no matter if you have new seals because there will be grooves wore into it. Check it out and let us know what you come up with

Everything is new??? Impeller also?? If so then you may want some advise from an expert, which I am not.

i had the same problem with my z last year and after replacing the seal and shaft, it took 3 or 4 oil changes to totally flush all the milky goodness away :-)

if it's not the water pump- have you been driving it through water- ponds, creeks, etc.?

All we own are Tri-Zs the only thing that would let water in the transmition oil is a bad water pump seal or a cracked side cove (but we have never seen that) Good Luck!

Did the spring fall off the backside of the waterpump seal when it was installed? They fall off pretty easy if you dont have the impeller or something round in the hole to put some tension on the spring.
