Tu5J4 - Oil Everywhere

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Recently bought a S2 106 rallye with a 16v, it's been off the road a couple years so we've been getting it ready for mot. Thought the oil cooler was leaking so took it off and turned out to be the sump under a heap of sealant. Anyways it's all back together, filled oil and coolant up to the max, had it running for about 5 mins then then alot of oil started pishing out the leaky rad cap, theres barely any oil on the dipstick now. Will this be down to a faulty oil cooler? Can't imagine the head gasket would let so much oil out, and there's no water in the oil

 

Also anyone recommend the best product for flushing the coolant system out?

 

Thanks ????

does sound like a failed heat exchanger, never seen one actually empty the sump though!

 

easy enough to bypass, undo the 27mm bolt and remove the heat exchanger, I think you may need to get the short full thread adapter to fit the filter to the block directly, and fit a different top hose
