someone help please lots of oil in coolant turbonetics ss
Ok so I have a 2010 camaro with a turbonetics 50 state kit. Car ran great but the other day I noticed a small radiator leak coming from one of the hoses that had a small slit in it. No big deal easy fix. So I go about fixing it and open up the rad cap and see peanut butter in my coolant and a lot of it. Obviously oil. So my question is could the turbo be mixing the two because it has oil and coolant feed or head gasket? Car never over heated ran at 190 all the time.
Please help!!! |

If your turbo is coolant and oil cooled that could be the culprit. Definitely what I would test and check first.
Secondly it could be a head gasket. Are you on stock gasket and head bolts? How much power and how many pounds are you pushing. In really bad scenarios you could crack a head, but I would deem that unlikely. |

No way it is mixing in the turbo. Just not going to happen.
You lost a head gasket, or cracked the block.

Doesn't look pinkish but could be the trans cooler in the radiator that took a shit

How about doing a pressure test on the radiator?
