smokeb lowing inside the car and out 850

posted by  someone claiming to be 850 RICKY on  Thu Feb 17 22:39 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I am worried. I got the radiator replaced two months ago. this originated after a trip to the mechanic because my coolant was low. alot. always. So they replace my radiator. Now i find that my coolant tank is consistantly brown and nasty. Even though i am filling it with fresh green coolant. Did my mechanic screw me or do i have a serious problem? Now the car is blowing smoke when i drive it. Coolant is blowing over. never had this problem in my 240. whats going on. PLEEEESESSSEE help.

That's the same thing that happened to my car, I've found. Find a good mechanic that knows what he's doing, preferably a friend. A good shop here in AZ will set you back $1100 because it isn't an easy task.

Good Luck,

andy

Also check your PCV valve, this would increase the combustion pressure sending oil placed it should not go.

Sounds like you have oil getting into your coolant which would also mean coolant in your oil. Check your dipstick for foamy deposits. If so, you probably have blown the head gasket or other seals, allowing this to happen. You better get it back to your mechanic.
