i put some water in the radiator not to waste good coolent, then turned it over a few times.. it started, so i shut it off quick... looked at the dipstick and it looks like every bit of water i put in the radiator is now in the motor... the dipstick level was very high, kinda like twiced the height of full..

to correct myself, it's more chocolaty than white.....

oh, by the pictures, there is definately coolent in the oil.....

thanks

I don't know whether your radiator has side tanks for a transmission cooler, but (if you have an automatic) check the transmission fluid level.
WHERE DID YOU ADD THE WATER TO THE RADIATOR??

Bill Ball

I routinely use 8.5+ in a oil & filter change.

The water was put into the reservoir right?

Is it not freezing overnight where you are?..............if so you should be using a a/f mix otherwise you may have a split block to repair.

Giovanni

So the oil is already ruined, drain the oil and remove the oil filter. Add more coolant and see if accumulates in oil pan.

juvius

i put the water in the res. it's in a heated garage, so it shouldn't freeze.

juvius

i'm in for the night, so i'll give that a try in the morning... thanks...

Well, that is the color and texture I was hoping not to see. There were no indications before the oil change ?

the flyin' scotsman

ok good...............can you drain the engine oil into a clean drain pan and look at it closely? If so is it contaminated with antifreeze/water or what?

I dont know how but was there any chance any water/coolant get into the oil filter?

juvius

none at all, not even a tick.....

i'm really hoping that all it is, is a blown gasket and not a crack head, block and anything else like that.... but.. i would be happier with something simpler... where's the best place to price head gaskets... someone has to have them for less than $300.... after all, it's just a gasket.....

thanks

juvius

i'll get that done in the morning.... i'm pretty sure it's antifreeze mixed... when i walked into the garage to get the pic, i could still smell the sweet smell of antifreeze....

juvius

no, the filter went straight from the box to my hand then i put oil in it.....

thanks

I'll do some searching for best priceing on what you will need. Do you have a coolant hose with the breather ? Get her something good for X-MAS !!!

Giovanni

whatever you do, DON'T START THE CAR AGAIN till you confirm what the culprit is. Yeah, I was yelling out loudly (would that be YOL?, LOL)

928 Int is selling head gskts for $84.

As has been mentioned pressurise the coolant system and do a leakdown test before assuming it is a bad gasket.

Did you confirm what was causing the smoke from under the hood?
