thewhiteguy1 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 soooo I just put a new rad in and i check out my coolant this morning and i see this. after talking to John he says it's either one of three things: headgasket, turbo, or rad. rad is brand new from fcp, turbo still seems okay no smoke coming from it and still spools good, and my engine has not overheated even with the 90+ degree weather so idk about the hg. and ideas of anything else it could be or if it's one of those three?! thanks.

Gilhuly Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 do a compression test? That looks like a ton of oil in there. Makes me think that the radiator failed. Did that come on all at once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lengendsecko87 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 I think someone put chocolate in your radiator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellas850 T-5 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 It is too much.....probably the radiator.you can also remove the oil cooler's lines from the radiator and pressurize the cooling system,to see if it show something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
