Ok It was raining bad. I was trying to get home. I went through a small washout, maybe 1ft deep, 50yds long. The car acted like it was misfiring and almost bogged out sputtered real bad. I got through it but had no power, bogged all the way up the hill.
Went down the hill and another washout, I go real slow but this one was deep, the car bogged, sputtered, popped, misfired and then died. Water entered the car up to the bottom of the seats. I jump out and push it out along with others who helped me.
When I got it out I tried to start it up, took for ever sounded real bad. I gave it gas and it bogged out again started popped, sputtered bogged no go. Now battery died.
Poped hood water everywhare. I did my best to dry everything till a jump came my way. Got it running again, but it was running as if the IC pipe was off. Then I see alot of white smoke from tail pipeOMG
I check the oil dipstick and its all creamy and full of water:( I stopped all action and towed it to my friends shop. Insurance is comming to look at it but wont see it till next Wed or Thurs.
People think its screwed up bad said it got Hydrolocked possable. The oil dipstick has no raiderator fluid in there so I dont know whats messed up now. Shop dont want to do anything till the insurance comes.
Anyone got any ideas, its pretty bad:confused:
 
you said that your oil was creamy then you have hydrolock. what porbably happend was that your car injested some water and you car tried to compressed it which won't happen. it sounds like it broke your rings. pull you inter cooler of and see how much water comes out.:cry:
