I bought a 89 sundance turbo for $40. Needs a bit of work, but well worth it..
The coolant looks like pure milk, but the oil in the pan is clean. Now the mitsu turbo is shot, it wobbles real bad. Could the turbo be damaged enough to allow the oil into the coolant passage? I know the oil system has more pressure than the coolant system, could this be why the oil in the pan is clean? The car smokes as well but I attribute this to the turbo. I have a garrett that I will put on it here soon.
Also I dont have any off the bubbling in the coolant associated with a blown head gasket.
Any idea?
