My 240sx leak problem

[Zell311]

i have recently purchased a 1990 nissian 240 sx

this is why im here

my car seams to be leaking a oil/antifreeze mixture it seems to be coming from the head gasket but it cant be sure.

does this seem right due to the mixture?

intermix is bad, especially if its leaking. Don't run it anymore, your need to replace the headgasket and you should get the head checked / milled if needed by a machine shop.

Drain your oil, see if its green in color or milky looking or smells sweet. Was the exhaust steaming or smoking?

I agree get it fixed asap

as soon as we saw it we stopped running it. the oil on the dip stick did not look milky and i didnt notice any steam or smoke from the exhasut... ill keep you posted.

Drain the oil its hard to tell on the dip stick. If it looks like chocolate milk or visibly its intermix. Either from a warped head, blown head gasket, or cracked block.

the car seemed to be running fine and as soon as we noticed the leak we shut it off. it seemed to be coming from the headgasket...

Ok see post two. Pull the head, check decking, have the head checked and milled if needed (60 bucks), replace head gasket, timing chain and gears if you can afford to.

okay i have just ordered head bolts head gasket and a timing set....

ill have the car pulled apart shortly...

im hoping the head is not warped, the car seemed to be running fine when we noticed the leak and shut it off immediatly
