Greetings all!
I know Milkshake in the engine is never a good sign. I replaced the head gasket on my turbo-caravan 2.5 about 3 years ago, and probably 30,000 miles ago. The van runs awesome More recently, while checking the oil, I noticed there was a slight indication of a milkshake mix on the dipstick--mostly clean oil, with some spots of coolant. Today, I started it up to leave school, and heard a more noticeable valve tap. I popped the hood, pulled the dipstick, and there was a bit more milkshake.
Some things I noted:
- Not smoking
- No bubbles in the radiator
- Runs great
- Oil looked perfectly clean after running for about a minute
- Does not appear to be using coolant
So does anyone here think I have anything to worry about here? Perhaps a very slow leak in the HG? Would a compression test help?
Thanks,
Lee
