View Full Version : Fuel and Coolant in Oil...great.

When I was installing an oil cooler I noticed a large amount of gas and some coolant in my oil.

I drive the car pretty hard a couple times a month, but neither of those should be in the oil.

I'm running a JWT ECU, but the map just does not seem to be correct. The car seems to be running too rich at certain areas in the map.

The coolant is just bad...I've driven the car about 30 miles and put two drift events on it.

Headgasket going already??

Its a KA-T and I'm only running 7psi on a JGS T3 Turbo.

Blown headgasket and probably a torn O-ring.

Good luck!

Anytime fluids mix is an indicator that some sort of fluid barrier has been destroyed, i.e. headgasket.

You could also do a compression or leakdown test, although mixed fluids like that is pretty much a dead give away.

Good Luck!

Run it with the radiator cap off. You will be able to tell if the combustion cycle is entering the coolant system.

Had a compression test done and its 170-175psi across all cylinders...

I'm not sure where the coolant is coming from:confused::confused:

There's no oil in the coolant, I have to check the overflow tank.

Its coming from someplace.

Bahahahaha! The always classis "LET'S MEET UP SO WE CAN FIGHT."

You've further proven your un-intelligence.

Pay for my plane ticket and I'm on the way. Nowhere did I say I'd be the one killing you though, as much as you deserve it and as much of a favor I'd be doing for the World I still don't want to spend a few nights in jail while they sort it out, I've got better things to do. But feel free to eat the gun yourself, or find a way to make it more enjoyable like crawling under a car without jackstands and a leaking jack, or grab a spark plug wire and chew on it. You know, the typical things you backyard kid mechanics who have no fucking clue about anything do. Or better yet, sit here and keep posting incorrect, pointless, useless answers in a tech forum so that numerous people remain confused, forcing people like me and others with a working central nervous system to come in, correct you, make you look like a fucking idiot, and give the OP the answer they really needed in the first place. It's not like these guys are here for fun, they're looking for real, proven answers without nonsense, and without someone who assumes they know about cars because they sat in one a few years ago giving them false hope. Hell, let your meth smoking cousin get on here to answer questions, he's at least smarter than you are even after breathing fumes for the past 10 years.

You should also give that $2000 back that you stole from your mom, she can't pay the bills without it so they may come and repo your trailer. Then you'd have no place to sit and hide behind the Commodore 64 you're on talking shit to a bunch of people who are clearly your superior.

Another quick check is to see if the exhaust pipe smells of coolant. Wouldn't suggest doing this while the car is running of course.
