Is the coolant and oil being mixed? You think it might be fuel from a line or injector?

If that were the case where would the coolant be going? There are no exterior leaks

 

[webb06]

Are you using the same heads? Maybe a valve seat leaking?

Original heads. Idk how a head could cause the coolant to get in the oil

 

[BFT]

How much coolant have you lost? Have you had to refill since you started it?

 

[madman1234509]

I was going to say. Pray there was just some air in the coolant system and thats why it went down, and its just something as simple as a fuel leak and not another crack. Did you reuse your fuel lines and o rings, or did you get all new stuff?

1/2 gallon maybe.

Ever gasket or fuel line was replaced

light it on fire

light it on fire

After I strip all the parts off

Unbelievable! I hope its something minor and not another block....:fustrate:

Mine went down almost the whole bottle after my EGR delete, this was also letting it idle. Still dropped down 2" below the fill line after I refilled.
I think you're alright as far as the coolant is concerned. Hopefully your oil will tell the tale

I've got almost 300 miles on it. I would think all the air is out by then

Dang dillon you can not catch a break.

 

[madman1234509]

Drain the oil, let us know if its coolant or what!

 

[webb06]

Drained half a quart out. Going to drive it for a few days and see if it rises back up

Did you have the heads checked? MINK had a valve seat machined to much that leaked coolant. Could be something similar

Leaked in to the crankcase? Or where? I didn't have them checked, just machined the very first time

I can be wrong but if it is cracked(valve seat) in the right spot the coolant can be sent into the cylinder and be "burned" or it can go out the exhaust pipe. I mean coolant only can go in 3 diferent places. An external leak where you can see it dripping, an internal leak where it goes into the oil, or an internal leak where it is either burned or is pumped right into the exhaust valve port.

Hopefully it's nothing major. Keep an eye on it. Air in the tank. Or a very small external leak the evaporates before you can see it. At least we can hope for something like that.

My guess is, if there is no sludge on the fill cap, that your fine.
