It is the most common problem with water cooled Hondas. The water pump housing is corroded . You will have to take it off and get it repaired. You have to grind out the corrosion and replace it with Dembicon or similar liquid metal product. They all suffer from it.

I dont believe its not corroded. They all are because the cover is made of magnesium. The only other reason why it could be leaking into the oil is if the seal has failed. There is also a little hole under the cover that leads in behind the seal and if it leaks, it comes out the hole. It gets blocked as well. Gaskets wont fix it.

I'm with 090, losing all your coolant in one ride is a bit more serious than a blown seal.
Husqvarna's have the same problems with corrosion, I've never seen one thats not effected by it.
