I'm pretty convinced that my oil cooler exploded... either that or it has been leaking slowly for a long time. And it has probably caused other damage. Thought I would post it up and see what you guys thought.
Previous Mods:
Next to none. Put 5" straight pipe from DP back into 8" exhaust single stack. 18x9 Wheels with 33/13.5 tires. No tuner, or anything. Same as sig.
Symptoms:
Few days ago, noticed the engine fan was constantly engaged.
Around same time, excessive white smoke from stack. Usually just on the first push down the road, then clears up. Always let my truck warm up properly before taking off. Strange, is that it does it after every I start it up to go somewhere. Not just after the first startup of the day.
Started it up today, and turbo sounded funny at first... like it was muffled. Usually hear it quite well with the stack. So...
Found excessive oil (more like grease - like tractor grease) in the coolant reservoir. Then...
Drove it off, and started to overheat. Babied it to brother-in-laws house, where we decided to try to flush it out. Flushed and flushed with water. It wasn't breaking up well.
This could be why:
So, after flushed with water the best we could. I took off the reservoir and decided to wash it out with gas. It worked ok, but it's a lot of grease, and it's hard to break up.
After hooking it back together and letting it warm to see if it was going to get hot again, a good romp on it gave way to oil blowing out the stack. Not, black smoke or anything burnt, just straight up oil, like a shower.
Well, let it do it's thing, and doesn't get hot. Have to make it home and start taking it apart. Guess I'm riding the Ducati to work... Hope it doesn't rain too much.
It does not seem to have lost power, or run rough, or spit anything like that.
Builds boost just fine.
After about a minute turbo sounds fine (no more muffled tone)
Doesn't appear to have coolant in oil (just by checking dip) also, doesn't appear to have lost any oil, but it must have...
Any input would be happily received. Thanks guys for your help.
