The problems never end
I finished on friday reconstructing the front end of the car from my accident and had everything done except painting of hte bumper and mounting the fog lights. So I drove it a little this weekend with the front mount showing and then today I went for a longer cruise to run it a bit. I was cruising city for a while and then highway for about 5 minutes then exited on the off ramp. When I came to a stop at the stop sign, a huge cloud of white smoke poured out and the engine temp went all the way up. I shut the car off and let it cool for a half hour and eventually got it back to my house.
Then When I got home I added coolant only to hear it dripping onto cement. I quickly jacked it up and found where it was pouring out from.... I dont know what it is, its like a 2 inch rubber hose about 3/4 of an inch thick that connects two hard metal hoses together. One of the sides goes right to the oil filter mount??? The other goes somewere up to the engine. I Have no idea how this hose would have gotten ripped But Im going to go try to replace it tomarrow. It had some like string inside the walls of the hose probably for strength? Does anyone know what that whole hose part does with coolant going to the oil filter housing? The heat also wasn't working so I think i'm going to get a new thermostat while im at it too.

Re: The problems never end
Not sure what that is you're talking about. But replace it and you should be good.
And the no heat may have to do with improper bleeding, and probably had air in the lines. Let it idle when you refill it for about 20 minutes with the heat full on, and then shut it off and let sit for awhile.

Re: The problems never end
It is most likely going to your oil cooler

Re: The problems never end
AHh that makes sense. Any idea how that thing would have ripped randomly?

Re: The problems never end
May have been brittle to begin with and the accident shook it up. Then while driving the pressure added up enough to bust it?
Maybe something bounced off the road and hit it? Something pierced it from the accident and just now (under pressure) decided to bust. We can keep going with with this lol.

Re: The problems never end
I have read that if you tighten the oil filter too tight, that metal tube that has the threads on it can crush into the oil cooler and cause the coolant to leak into the oil. But this would be an internal leak. Ive also read that those oil coolers are pretty expensive from the dealership.

Re: The problems never end
I got another piece of high pressure tubing and fixed it.. filled it up with coolant and replaced the thermostat too all for 15 bucks and it runs perfect now so that good... I got a nice canon 10.0 mega pixel digital camera with video and I have some sweet videos on my computer now, how do you get them on to show you guys?
