Default Trans oil problem question quick?

I got a random problem with a b16 LSD trans. It works pretty flawless at the moment but the oil after a ride turns to a gray watery oil with some other crap in it like milky almost.

The trans is sealed no oil leaks nothing. The case was pulled and everything cleaned 2 months ago then put back on the car. Now when I change the fluid it looks terrible coming out after only a few drives.

From what I've found out the diff could be leaking?

I've found no relating info to this and the trans section is dead. Anyone who knows the guts more than me please hell me figure out what to do from here. I'm stuck driving it as is regardless and tried gm synchromesh and reg 10w30

Pic with new fluid and used

Any water or chemicaks left over from cleaning will cause the oil to milkshake like that.

And if it's an oem lsd it should be a helical type diff

I've never heard of that. The thing was spotless not taken totally apart. We swapped the case over for a fresher one and that was it. I already ran 2 oil changes through it.. This one I just used 10w30 I'm not wasting 35$ every week lol.

The oil I never took a pic of all of it but I couldn't make oil look like this if I tried no matter wtf potion I made in the garage. And yet I still dd like 3 hours or so a day

Only Type R's (regardless if Integra, Civic, NSX, or Accord) had helical, all other models had a viscous.

The viscous LSD is sealed with no way to disassemble it. I've never seen one leak.

Drain the oil into a clean container and send it off to be analyzed. http://www.blackstone-labs.com/

I guess ill check it out next weekend again... I feel there's no point tho. And no ones heard of this sh|

Edited: I always assumed this is an CTR or a b16 LSD I have no way to tell other then at 110 it's at 4000 rpm (roughly anyway)

From the guy who knows these inside out he thinks the diff is leaking and will eventually slip

Pull an axle out next fluid change and take a good, clear, well-lit pic of the diff through the axle seal.

This won't show it's a type r or b16 will it? It's just a gear in there it's for sure LSD.

Here's one I did get of the oil but out of
The sun not doing justice. The car still shifts the same since 2006 lol and always poured clean out, weird ****

Yes, it will. Can't see much in that pic other than dirty oil. That milkyness looks more like leftover fluid in the container.
