Hi,
Great site!
I have a 2000 Century (3.1) that just started leaking oil into the coolant. I want to confirm that this is due to the LIM gasket and have a few questions. The oil is clean and the coolant level is roughly right (but contaminated).
- If I run a block test, the results will show combustion gasses in the coolant due to the oil, which won't tell me anything - right?
- Will a coolant system pressure test tell me anything? I can't see any external leaks.
- I'll run a a compression test later, but what else should I be doing?
I (obviously) would rather not pull the heads is I can avoid...
Thanks for the help!
Josh
