Need Some Advice!!!

96cobraMystic · December 28th, 2011, 11:56 AM

Okay i have a 1996 cobra car has been sitting for about a month due to me breaking a axle at the track. Well today i cranked it up to let it run a min. after i let it run popped the hood and noticed some white looking stuff all over the pvc. So took the intake off to look around has some on the top of intake manifold and around the rim where you add oil.. What is it? just water mixed with the oil??? car does have 280,000 miles plus on it.

Thanks Gary

Can you post up pics? Your description sounds like water mixing with the oil, which likely means a blown head gasket.

look at the fluid in you radiator, and crack the oil pan open and let a small amount drain out. if it looks like milk, bad juju. prepare for a rebuild.
