Oil In Water

[Kasmick]

Hi Guys,

Got a bit of a problem which i require help with, i am getting oil into the water system and radiator but it is not the head gasket. I know this because i changed the head gasket but saying that there was nothing wrong with the old one anyway when i took the head off.

Now it is a R32 GTR and it still drives completely fine, there is no water in the enigine (oil) at all and i have been driving it around for a bout two weeks now, although i am slowly, very slowly losing oil from the engine.

So obvioulsy the oil is some how leaking into the water system, now i have a couple of ideas which i would like some help on.

Is it possible that the oil could mix into the water through the turbo?? a seal broken or something??

The other option is the water/oil trasfer thing that the oil filter bolts too??? Is it possible for this to leak oil into the water??

Any help would be great guys.

Thanks

Check the oil cooler just behind the oil filter Page EN-87 of the manual.

Hey mate, see where your oil filter is screwed onto? there is a metal disc plate just off to the side which has a bolt going straight through it. that is your factory stock oil cooler. over time they can rust out as the core inside is fairly thin or the core inside separates and your oil will mix in with the water. i had the same problem when i had my 32 gtr. its an absolute c*nt trying to reach it but i did it from underneath the car. if you have skinny arms you should be right. change that cooler or fit an aftermarket cooler and it shoudl fix the problem. worked with me. i ended up blowing my head gasket two weeks later anyways. Doh. haha.

and also if you do decide to fix it buy a new oring kit for it. if i remember it came with three o rings. two little black ones and an orange one. this kind of problem happens on old cat loaders and various trucks ive worked on. they run a similar setup too.

Yes i will agree its common to happen with those stock heat exchangers.

Hey kasmick,

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it definitely sounds like you have a cracked head,

the reason your not getting water in the oil is that the gallery thats cracked in the head is the oil pressure side so

oil pressure is higher than water pressure therefore the oil goes into the water,forget head gasket,heat exchanger etc.

If you like by-pass the heat exchanger to check again but i`ve experienced this many times.Theres a company here in the uk that does repaired heads,although the shipping/labour costs for shimming etc maybe too expensive.
