It is, also, in the radiator. Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jan 9, 2008, 8:54 PM Post #2 of 4 (2560 views) Re: gunk in the anti-freeze overflow & the radiator Sign In Could be a head gasket leaking oil into cooling system. Some sealers can look like that - is that in its history? What kind of car and automatic or not?

Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jan 10, 2008, 3:08 AM Post #4 of 4 (2556 views) Re: gunk in the anti-freeze overflow & the radiator Sign In If timing belt broke I'm surprised you got this fixed for even $1800 as I think this is an interferrence engine. That meaning valves can collide with tops of pistions when timing belt breaks or jumps far enough off time. Damage from that could vary a lot. If it's running very well and not consuming anti-freeze or contaminating oil also it could be the repair used some gunky goo after their work to prevent a come back for a leak if there was any uncertainty. If the case I'd flush out the system and clean the recovery tank and see if it returned. If it does or leaks somewhere it'll have to be diagnosed from there, T   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
