as the title says i flushed out the coolant yesterday and theres oil in the coolant and theres coolant in the oil. what do you guys think the leak is comin from.?

I'd suspect a blown headgasket. Go ahead and perform a compression test and leakdown test.

no smoke fromt he exhasut. thou. did i mention this is the gsx.

What year is the car? If it's a 91 and up the nut in the oil filter housing may be loose. They have a tendency to do that.

update alright yesterday i flushed out the system clean oil n just water before i waste money on antifreeze well with evrything settled nd done there was no oil in the coolant system nor the oil.. i did not use the car yesterday it sat till this morn. i checked the oil and the coolant and theres water i the oil n oil in the coolant. i did a compression test im gettin 125 across the board. i also have venolia forged pistions so i belive thats why my compression is lower to run higher boost

ok another update// i took the sandwich thing off the oil housein first off the peice that the oil filter screws onto was hand tight barly.. so maybe thats where the leak is coming from. second i would pressurerize where the water runs though and the center fills up with water is that normal? please help asap

That "sandwich" should 'not' be screwed on crazy tight. If you crush the cooler, you will need a new one and you will keep getting coolant and oil mixing. Make sure you look up the torque specs for that nut and don't go 1ft/lb over.

You haven't said the year or not, but iirc the 90s don't have that problem. It was already stated 91s have to deal with this crap a lot.

Also, I would think 125 compression across the board is a little low.

yea i belive its 35lbs. tourq i have low comp veniolia pistons. the sandwich peice wasnt even tight it wasnt even finger tight i adjusted flushed collant n oil will see tomorrow how it is.. but any other help on that will be great.

Your not gonna get coolant in your oil just from letting it sit if your headgasket is gone. Take it out for a drive, boost around a bit and then take a look. Often the boost in the cylinders is what lifts the head and such and causes the fluid contamination.

i never sed the headgasket is gone i think its the oil water cooller. i donmt think its the ehadgasket for the oil to get in the coolant n coolant to get into the oil it just sits like yesterday afternoon i flushed evrything then ran it a lil checked it evrything was fine let it sit over night becasue the car isnt on the road yet and check it this morn and there was oil in the coolant n water in the oil. so i think its the oil/water cooler
