| 1 of 64,000,000 | well with engine bay temps...and it being a metal object that has the ability to absorb radiant heat more than plastic...i can see that happening....

| Well, I pressurized the system one last time last night, and when I came out this morning the oil pan had about a quart of water in it. Suggestions welcome. I am disgusted with this whole f'n thing. I have never abused this car or driven it hard.

| Chris, I'm sorry for your bad luck. You've never trashed on the engine, so I'm betting it's an intake gasket.

Even though if was just water, it still had a light green tint from the coolant. Do you think the bearing might be compromised? I spent thousands on this damn engine.

| Tough break Chris. I don't know I would throw in the pellets and get an oil analysis done on the next oil change. Not sure how you could damage anything, if damaged, any further by using the pellets. It's got to be minor leak is you don't have oil in the cooler and had no overheating/other symptoms(?)
