Pmids Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Hi all just need to some guidance, I did a coolant change followed the process of bleeding, everything went well but then couple of weeks later I went to change my oil and there be hold was coolant, the strange thing is I have no temp increase, no misfire drives perfectly smooth, normal smoke on cold start and disappears, I did the oil change and re checked the the oil and no coolant but now the heater is not blowing any hot air, and my expansion tank is empty again, has any one had this issue or is the head gasket blown?

Azurez33 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 How often do you use the car? and when you say coolant what exactly do you mean? actual red watery coolant or the oil was a browny discoloured gunk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pmids Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 dont use it often, its the green coolant, the coolant came out the sump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azurez33 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 So just to confirm, green coolant came out of the sump? During the weeks between when you did the bleed and did the oil change did you drive it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pmids Posted February 4, 2023 Author Share Posted February 4, 2023 Yes correct I hadn’t driven it no and once I did it I took it to my mates places where I went to do the oil change and coolant come out from the sump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Top up the coolant and bleed the system properly to get all the air out the system and to get the heater working again. I am not quite following the coolant in the oil description which you have provided. Usually when coolant enters the oil it emulsifies to become a creamy substance. However as Azurez33 has said if the engine has not been running then perhaps the coolant is not "mixing" with the oil ???? I would recommend that you bleed the system as above, top up the oil and run the car for a period of time frequently checking the coolant level and oil condition from cold after the vehicle has ben sat overnight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
