Ok, a few weeks ago I started noticing trace of oil specks in my coolant. My first guess was the head gasket. After doing some research, I found that the oil cooler its possible to pass oil in the coolant. I drained all the fluids, and found the oil cooler was finger loose. So I took it off, and cleaned it. Then I blew through the water lines, and It didn't leak out surprisingly. I couldn't see how or where it would pass oil into the coolant.
So I put it all back together this time tight with fresh fluids. Saturday night I hit the cruise strip for a while did a few races(nothing beside me was faster BTW)I raced a boosted 250sx, a subaru wrx, and a few Honda's.
Sunday morning I checked the fluids, and found some more oil in the coolant. I checked the oil, and sure enough a 1/4 of a quart or so was missing. Could the turbo be letting the oil in my coolant?
