Coolant in oil question...


Recommended Posts

So long story short, carb swap, crap adapter, coolant leak in to intake, white smoke, turn off, order one piece transdapt adapter, waiting, oil change, check oil,  coolant in oil?! Very light amount, chocolate milk but more oil than coolant also no oil in the coolant/radiator. So before this no issues, had fresh coolant, no leaks no over heats, my question is would this be from the carb mess up? If so any recommendations on cleaning it out besides multiple oil changes? Thanks all!! adapter will be here tomorrow. . Now I wait..

maybe the leak continued while it was off.    Other stuff you list points away from headgaskets.  Typically, they are very well blown by the time you start getting coolant in the oil.    Drain the oil, let it set for a long while, [maybe months] most of the coolant will settle out on top, skim it off.  Re use the more normal stuff mixed with new.   A little coolant mixed in will evaporate away with run time.
