Yabucoa, Puerto,
Puerto Rico
First of all, my name is Jean Carlos I am 21years old, DSM fan from Puerto Rico. My main language is Spanish but I speak a little English and I will try to do my best on the grammar.
What happened today it wasnt the first time. The exact same thing also happened to me 2 years ago. Today I was doing 60mph on the highway and the air conditioner stop working. It became pretty hot inside the car so I lower the windows. Then it started to smell funny like if oil was burning but I didnt see any smoke anywhere. Then I started hearing like a lifter noise. So I looked at the oil press gauge and there was no press. and the water temp was all the way up high. I turned off the engine and pulled over.
When my cousin got out of the car he saw the front right wheel filled with oil, I said not again, when I opened the hood the transmission, turbo, i/c pipes, all that was all covered by oil. First I thought my head gasket was blown but the leak wasnt coming from there. I removed the intercooler pipe and it was clean on the inside and the turbo didnt have any shaft play or something. There was absolutely no smoke from the exhaust. The oil didnt come from the oil filter, dip stick, cap or anything like that. It didnt mix water and oil. The car was very hot but the radiator wasnt all empty, my uncle brought me 4gts of oil and water and with half of a gallon of water the cooling system was filled up. I turned on the engine and the car was just fine, the idle was between 750 to 800 rpm and very smooth even the air conditioner started working. I checked for water and oil leaks and nothing. So I hit the throttle back to my uncles house and everything was normal I mean the car slow as usual but everything was normal. So I clean the engine at my uncles house and went back home. When I got there I checked and absolutely no leaks of any kind I made a compression test to my never opened, never rebuilt completely stock engine 142K miles on it and the results where:
#1 185psi
#2 180psi
#3 185PSI
#4 190PSI
Cheked 3 times. With the throttle open and the car just had like 20min turned off.
(Still hot)
The same thing happened 2 years ago and I did the same thing as I did today and everything went normal 2 years later until today. I mean is like my engine wanted to die 2 times before but still breathing and dam healthy.
NOW my question is where did all that oil came from? Why did it stop leaking? Both times happened when the car was hot.
My car is a stock engine just basic Boltons, next month I will be upgrading to a TO3/TO4E 57trim comp wheel, 50a/r .63 ex. Stage 3 turbo. What should I check before the upgrade?
