I was wondering if anybody can help me. My moms 89 mazda MX-6 has oil in the coolent and less than a quart of oil in the crank case. What can cause this? It happen one time b4 and it was equated to a blow head gasket. I since replaced that and the problem came back again. It it happen the first time the was no coolent in the oil only oil in the coolent. If anybody can let me know what it could be it would be great.

 

There was probably still enough oil in the water jacket to make it look bad again. Did you fully flush the system?

 

bump

 

I talked to your pops today, and a cracked head or block sounds about right assuming the block and head where level when you checked them.

 

oh oil in the coolant, thats good......extra hp to the wheels

 

please don't "bump" a thread.

 

this IS off subject... but has anyone had the distributer seal/ O-ring go bad which lets oil into the cap and components. It took me a little while to figure out why I had oil around my valve cover when the gasket is like new with proper Tq specs etc.
It doesn't look like it'd be hard to replace, but I couldn't find out what exactly the O-ring size is. It would suck to buy the wrong one...........

 

That "O" ring is leaking on my civic.
