Update to fix S70

posted by  someone claiming to be RTF on  Wed Mar 15 15:49 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Well my new radiator fixed the "oil in coolant" that was flowing at the rate of 1/2 qt. week (400 miles). The head gasket replacement did not fix the problem.

The problem was one way. Oil in coolant, but not coolant in oil. I suspect this was part of the reason for the trouble to diagnose the cause correctly. If the cooling system is under pressure to detect where the leak is and it holds pressure for the radiator and engine - where is the problem??

So I am less pissed at the indy than I was a week ago while I was still purging oil > coolant and had not rationalized this conclusion.
