bubbabowtie Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 i have the tgp that has the oil in the crank case and toasted turbo. i had it running today and i have a bad gasket on the hot side of the turbo so as it was running i noticed that i had antifreeze sizzleing where that gasket was out, can the bad turbo cause a leak from the cooling port in the turbo directly into the exauste?(spelling eror) the crank case has water in it no lie buti have no bubbles in the rad. neck when it was running, any one have feed back for me? :!: Quote
patgizz Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 helpful feedback: stop running it with water in the oil, the bearings are probably dead now. i believe a cracked turbo center section could cause oil and water to mix if it were me, depending on how long its run with water in the oil, i'd have the engine out for a rebuild as running with water in the oil is a bad thing and the engine probably won't be too far behind the turbo Quote
bubbabowtie Posted January 11, 2004 Author Report Posted January 11, 2004 it only ran for 5 min. then i pulled it back into the garge, but i dont know before i got it what happend! Quote
bubbabowtie Posted January 11, 2004 Author Report Posted January 11, 2004 the thermo. houseing did not even get hot Quote
joey b Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 when I had my old lebaron it blew the turbo and there was a mixing of water and oil. however, the cloud of white smoke behind me just SCREAMED antifreeze. Quote
bubbabowtie Posted January 11, 2004 Author Report Posted January 11, 2004 but that would not justify how it gets into the crank case tho , in the exus. ya but in the oil would have to be head Quote
