I have a 95 mustang GT with a procharger. Went out for a little fun on a real curvy road got done and noticed some oil was coming out of my valve covers and dripping on the headers. Ok so park it going to tighting the bolts back down. Wait about 3 hours for it to cool off. Come back out and all my cooling lines are sucked together. Like there was a huge vaccum. So i pop the raidator cap, and inside it is a bunch of junk. Looks like dirt or very small pieces of a gasket. Checked the oil thinking if i found coolant in there then it was a head gasket and nothing. just oil. No coolant leaked after i parked my car. And its still full so if i did lose some it wasnt much at all. Anyone every seen anything like that inside the coolant. or seen the coolant hoses all sucked together.

well ur coolant lines being sucked together believe it or not is a huge sign of a bad radiator cap. sounds strange but a cap dose more then you would thing, when ur car heats up pressure builds and pushes extra coolant out into your over flow tank but there is a valve that works for when ur car is off and sitting it cools then there is a vaccum from ur engine sucking water back into the engine so try a diff cap c if that fixes is but about the gasked in your coolant no clue only guy thermostat houseing ?

well after reading ur post, id say get a new cap like the previous person said
watch ur oil , coolant in the oil, is a blown headgasket, but if theres gasket or dirt in the coolant, do a coolant system flush, see whats actually in there, that way u know for sure, than pop off ur lower coolant hose and take a look at it, sometimes the hose's break down inside.
