My Engine Eats Coolant
Okay, so I know this has probably been discussed a zillion times, but I would really like to know what I can do and how long I can wait before fixing this problem (84 944):
-Coolant level keeps dropping (very gradually, about a litre a week).
-Oil dipstick shows 'milk shake', which means coolant is mixing with the oil.
-Exhaust is sometimes white, implying steam.
-There is NO OIL in my coolant though, not that I can see in the expansion tank.
I know the probable diagnosis is either head gasket, or oil-cooler seals. I don't think it is the head gasket, since my compression is fine (between 135 and 145 psi) ... so how do I get to those oil-cooler seals? Are they hard to fix/replace??
Ahmet, since you're working on your oil pan, I guess you would have the freshest memory about where everything is ...
please help.
