hi guys i checked my oil this moring and it look like chocolate milk i think i blew a head or a manifold gasket it wasn`t like that 5 days ago and i haven`t driven the car for more than 15 miles . do you think i hurt the engine ?am going to take the manifold out to take a better look at it let you guys know what happened

 

Could be something as simple as a leaky intake gasket, to something as extensive as a crack/hole in the head or block. Run a compression check and see where you're at.

 

tomorrow morning

 

1) Intake gasket leak
2) Head gasket blown
3) Cracked head
4) Cracked water jacket in block

 

Sounds like a head gasket to me, it should be ok just don't drive it anymore!

 

well i took it apart it, was a manifold gasket it was cracked at one end i will clean it and put it back tomorrow , how should i flush all that contaminated oil out of the rest of the engine?and any other tips on doing this apreciated!!! thanxs guys.

 

well, drain the oil now. Once it's all buttoned back up, refill the coolant, and put in new oil. Shouldn't have to really worry about flushing it I wouldn't think. You can drive it for a few days, and change the oil again if you want.
The oil will sink to the bottom, and drain out first.

Also, the water in the oil will heat up and boil, and steam, then go out your PCV and out the tailpipe. Or out the oil fill hole as steam.

 

you are going to need ot change the oil and filter several times very often,


water is VERY not good for the bearings and such, at all,

hope its ok though, wont know for a while probably though

good luck

 

You mean the water will settle to the bottom and come out first, right?

 

Fast68: Are you looking for the 15" N24 wheels?

 

yes, that's what I meant. Oil floats on water - hence the oil covered birds you always see on the 6 o'clock news...That's a good way to remember it.
