murky, oily, stinky coolant 200 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be Cackalacky Brickboy on  Sat Apr 3 01:14 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Just had several seals replaced in my leaky engine, and after I picked up my 240 from the shop, I peeked under the hood and checked the fluids.

The coolant visible in the reservoir is murky (not antifreeze color, but a thin beige) it also smells of fuel and looks like droplets of oil and debris floating about.

I have planned to flush the system today...are these symptoms normal after such a repair job, or should I be more concerned- and do more than flush?

Thnx
