A little help here guys.....
My 88 has been sitting for quite some time.. and now it's time to start twisting wrenches again...
Here's the drill....
I have oil in the coolant...
kinda of a grey sludge building up on the overflow dipstick, the overflow itself
and on the radiator cap.. AND the coolant to low sensor...
There is no detectable water in the oil...
Last year, I lost the water pump.. and got her HOT but not to the red light
~ 238 degrees on shutdown... it's been sitting ever since.
The oil buildup in the cooling system started before the water pump blew it's seal....
So thought's?
Thanks
Mike
