So I have been trying to figure out how
raw water is getting into my
oil. I have a 2003T, and after getting up to
san francisco from ensenada, mx last july i have been trying to figure this out. In
mexico i blew the
oil cooler, housing ruptured, and replace with new unit. all good, no oil loss and no
leaks. on the way up my
raw water was dripping and also my vp
muffler had pin holes on SS end caps. replaced
muffler with ventus unit and replaced
water pump">raw
water pump with new.
flushed
engine and put in new oil and ran for an hour. then ran in slip a few times and looked ok, though was not clear anymore and began to look opaque; now it's back to milky again.
no oil out
exhaust, checked while running so I don't think it's the oil cooler.
new
raw water pump and seem to be the fix as it didn't become milky right away as it did before I installed the new unit.
no loss of
coolant in reservoir,
engine runs cool, 140degs.
I did have a bad bearing in the turbo on the trip down from
newport beach to ensendada and had the turbo rebuilt and reinstalled down there. oil was exiting
exhaust on way down, could smell it. is there a way through the exhaust riser to get raw water into engine? not sure where to check/replace next.
thanks
