As the title suggest at this moment I ran into an "issue" last night. Back in November or whenever I brought the car in to start all the
suspension work I drained the oil. The car sat for years before I got it, so I had changed the oil as soon as I could. Then I think I changed it one more time. Maybe not, but I figured it would be a good idea to change it since I've put a few miles on it. Well it has been sitting there with no oil in it since I drained it. I'm getting close to being able to get it off the rack. I got to thinking, "you better put oil in this thing before you forget and crank it up with no oil in it". So I put oil in it. Only problem is the oil I have is some Royal Purple that a friend of mine gave me and its in a 5 gallon jug. I over filled it. No big deal. Just drain some out. That was a few days ago. Last night I decided to pull some oil out. This is new oil so no need to just waste it. I got a jug and cracked the drain plug. And then it happened. Something came out..... It wasn't oil....
A nice little stream of antifreeze started coming out. Not a lot. Maybe an ounce, two at most.
Thing is there should be 0 ounces of this stuff in the oil. Of course this isn't what I was hoping to find last night, but it isn't necessarily the end of the world.
Where do you guys suggest that I start first? The car has just been sitting there. No pressure on the system, so the water is leaking is under atmospheric conditions. I haven't removed the intake or heads since I got this car. The only thing I've done is pull the timing chain cover and oil pan. Intake or head gasket maybe? I'd like to have a plan before I just start pulling it apart. Also, do you guys think I would hurt anything if I started it up to get it off the lift? Before I tear into this I'd like to get it off the lift so that I can change the oil in the wife's car. Just way easier and the lift is right freaking there!
Anyway, what do you guys think?
