NewZed Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Metric, US/short, or Imperial/British/long? And, of course, you're talking fractional measurements, like .00003 tons. There are better units of measure out there. Losing not loosing. Unless it's spraying around the engine bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malibud Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 well... Not really losing just transferring. at least a quart or two Can oil pass through the timing cover ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 If your cooling system is properly filled, how can it accept two quarts more of oil? Have you drained a quart or more of oil from the overflow bottle? Just trying to help you with some details. If you just have a trace of oil in the coolant, and you're losing quarts from the engine, why are there not quarts of oil in the cooling system? Where did it go? You might just be running more oil through the combustion chambers. Worn rings maybe. You'll still be removing the head, among other things, but might be better prepared to fix it.

malibud Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 I do have a few oil leaks around the pan etc. yes it is a mess. No overflow bottle so there has been coolant spew over the front of the engine. When I stuck my finger in the cold radiator my finger was covered in oil and coolant. I wiped my finger dry and it was black from oil. My plan is to do a compression test and maybe a leak down. I have done head gasket replacements but never anything on the bottom end or timing cover. I figured with a blown head gasket I would have seen water in the oil not the reverse. I would rather not open the bottom but I think this may just be a new learning experience.

malibud Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 Compression is 145-150 across all . Steam coming out of the oil fill . Still think hg . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
