[urq] Antifreeze in oil

[Ado Sigal]

Unfortunately, the HG is the only place where water 
and oil can meet. Take the rocker cover off, as it 
would show if it was used mixed. Oil has higher 
pressure than water system, compression to, so the 
compression should be leaking into water system, 
which means air locks and overheating, and oil into 
water, so it is strange if the car was running OK 
previously.  Just to make sure, loosen the head 
bolts one by one (in proper order), for one turn and 
re tighten it again to spec. If the bolts tighten 
1/4 turn or more further than before (usually on 
exhaust side), that means the head was loose, which 
would explain mixed liquids. Either case, head needs 
to come off to establish exactly why, unless you 
find the fool who poured the antifreeze down the oil 
filler, which would be in a way the best outcome.

Good luck,

Ado
