I worked on a friends Astro Van where the water pump wore a hole in the timing chain cover because of excessive end play, dumping coolant right into the oil pan.Ĭan't remember off the top of my head but is there coolant passage in the intake, if there is you might want to check that too. It's not unheard of coolant leaking by the gasket into the area where the timing chain is. You might want to take a good look at the timing chain cover and also remove the water pump and take a look behind. Can this be coming from the timing cover or gasket? At a loss here and would appreciate any advice. It did not lose any coolant for three days but the forth day (15 miles ) it was much worse than the original problem, I had almost a gallon of water in the oil. 2009 ford ranger Sport 4.0L V6/2 8' red hot glasspacks swept side before rear tire/2 catco high flow cats/K&N 77 series intake system/BFG all terrain 31x10.5x15 tires/Procomp 98 series rock crawler black rims/westin black sportsman brush guard/6-6 Hella 500FF lights. I checked the oil and it looked like Chocolate Milk again. I would suspect its oil leaking into the coolant. Images (Click to make bigger) SPONSORED LINKS. This should give you an idea if there is currently a leak, or just some freak occurrence. Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed. If you can, pressure test the coolant system. Found black oil in coolant overflow, after engine ran hot going up average hill. It controls the fans and the temperature gauge. Newly-minted Motor Mechanic 3 Son has his ford Ranger 3.2l turbo-diesel in bits. After 1 day of running it did not over heat but the engine began to run ruff. The CHT on that engine is installed into the cylinder head on the right side. I tried burping it but coolant just spilled out of the radiator. Check it in the morning when it is cold to see. There is no other way for coolant to flow into the system so if it went in, it was low. This can only happen if the level is low. Coolant is drawn from the tank to the radiator by the vacuum created as the system cools and the liquid (and air) contracts. Each time I fill it up, it seems to be topped off or full, but it still seems to end up being low on coolant. Re: Coolant overflow tank keeps going empty. Over driving 100 miles, I added maybe 1.5 gallons of coolant total. I replaced the head and intake gaskets as well as the bolts. This last weekend, I noticed my '94 Ford Ranger 4.0L V6 was loosing coolant. I then had the block cleaned and checked for a cracks(none found) The heads were not warped and the tops were shaved. The best case scenerio could be scum leftover from the old coolant breaking off from the passageways in the block, as coolant degrades it leaves an oil scum in the reservoir and in the block.My truck over heated and I found heavy amounts of coolant in the oil. What color was the smoke from the exhaust? If it is white then it could have blown a head gasket, check the oil to see if it is cream colored, also open the reservoir and pull the cap off the radiator to see if it smells like exhaust.Īnother thing it could be is the oil cooler or trans cooler(if your truck is auto) could have gone bad as in some vehicles these are integrated into the radiator. Any thoughts, or has anyone else had and fixed this issue? ![]() I've been checking the fluid levels periodically and when I got to work there was oil in my coolant reservoir again, it runs great and sounds good so im confused! I'm at a loss as to what to do next, I love my truck, hate not knowing what to do. Ford Ranger Forum - Forums for Ford Ranger enthusiasts > Engine Tech Forum > 6-Cylinder Tech > 3.0 Vulcan Tech: Oil in coolant but no coolant in the oil. long story short, I had the head milled, had good pressure, new gaskets, flushed the coolant system, all new emed great fired right up and drove well and sounded great for the test drive around, it smoked a lot out the exhaust which was unusual as my truck never smoked. So I had oil in my coolant reservoir a few weeks ago. But as a woman its not my strong suit, and I figured asking others who know rangers specifically would be my best bet for info. I'm reasonably ok with understanding basic mechanics and everything (it needs oil, don't overheat it etc.).
