Oil in the Antifreeze/ car overheated/ smoke through the Vents Posted By: beyondboardskateshop On: 03-21-2010 @ 16:47:16 Reply | Edit Ok here it goes... Working on the heater core thing and finding new things: The car over heated due the heater core leaking all the damn Antifreeze out. Smoke pillowed in through the Vents...and I almost wrecked. So I go to put some coolant in so I can atleast make it to my driveway. Open the reservoir and there is oil mixed in w/the antifreeze! Where does this happen? I am thinking blown head gasket or a leaky? Any Ideas or someone that can lead me into the right direction. This sucks Just paid off the car...my first at that..Oh well Thanks again Posted By: Storn On: 12-30-2007 @ 18:32:43 Reply | Top | Edit well, my guess would be you warped one/both of the heads... how hot did the car get, i was having overheating issues, but the gauge never got over 3/4 or in the red, and i havent had any problems since... if you have oil in the coolant, or visa versa you're screwed... --

Posted By: Jeremiah On: 12-31-2007 @ 01:07:44 Reply | Top | Edit I doubt you lost enough coolant into your car that the car overheated as a result...regarless of that, how long did you drive with it overheated? The cause is probably the headgasket. -- **FOR SALE** 2005 GMC 1500HD 6.0L, dumped true duals - Flowmaster 50 series - 16.43@85.29 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix - 3.8L - bone stock

So it hasn't been driving while it was over heated. I have since taken the heater core out. I know that there has been a little trace of oil in the reservoir for awhile... here is a list of what I have done so far. 1.) Removed the old Heater core 2.) Replaced throttle Gaskets 3.) Drained remaining coolant 4.) Flushed radiator 5.) Flushed coolant Reservoir 6.) Got new heater core have it installed just not connected yet....next step is the Head Gaskets? Posted By: beyondboardskateshop On: 01-05-2008 @ 14:38:24 Reply | Top | Edit Could the Oil pump be a problem...IE if it is leaking could that be what is putting oil in the reservoir? Posted By: Storn On: 01-05-2008 @ 15:16:50 Reply | Top | Edit i wouldnt think so... how many miles are on the engine again? before you start the car back up, i would pull all of the spark plugs, and see if any of them are oil covered or smell like coolant or anything like that...we had a 4.7 in a ram in my shop that overheated and the first signs that the heads were warped were coolant in the oil, and fouled out spark plugs that when changed, would just foul again... so check your plugs, if any of them are screwed up note which ones, change them, and get everything back together and start it again but not for terribly long, if it runs rough, missing out and such then there is more work to be done... if your plugs arrent fouled out, you might of just gotten away with a blown intake gasket... --

I had that problem in my Firebird and Z28 both when I first purchased them, the brown color in the coolant that is. -- -1999 Ford F150 XLT Tinted windows, DEPO Headlights, bullet muffler, and a billet grille.
