What the F$7k Just Happened?!?

[tbst]

Minding my own business driving into the airport to go on vacation. Hear a hissing sound. And then this.

Cracked head? Oil and coolant mixed together. And shooting everywhere.

What the hell just happened? Whatever it is, it is bad.

Oh man... that does not look good at all...

Dam! That looks like pure-t carnage. I'm assuming the dipstick shows the same chocolate milk? How about the radiator?

 

[JWaldz]

Damn dude, your 4runner just took a huge dump! Hope it's not too serious. Good luck.

 

[tbst]

Well the oil mixing with the coolant is always serious. Meaning I am ****ed.

At least you're staying positive about it.

Hope you can get her fixed without too much trouble.

Sch*t way to start a vacation. Which dipstick matches the spray...or doesnt register anymore? Did you happen to catch the temp gauge readings as it died?

 

[hugo2go]

Thanks some serious PSI going thru there to shoot that much fluid.

 

[BrianSD_42]

man that looks really f'n knarly.

I dont get it though. Is it a pink milkshake?

I have never heard of an instant cracked head that then vented to the engine bay.

 

[Nashvegas34]

When you find out what that is I insist that you let us all know. I just wet my pants a little bit when I saw that.

 

[Steve240]

Everything can be fixed. Looks like a lifted head to me for it to make that much of a mess

 

[tbst]

To clarify, i used gloves and took the radiator cap off. I was late for the flight. So that explains the mess.

I happened to have a gallon of water I put in so I could park it and get on my flight.

So.... Ideas about just the fluid mixing?

Temp reading was almost pegged. Happened quickly though because I had just looked at it 30 seconds earlier because I am anal retentaive and I thought I had smelled a burning smell earlier driving. Any helpful info?

Regarding the mess I took the radiator cap off.

:jaw drop:

 

[blcktpgsr]

....just what you needed before goin on your vacation....yeah i'm also curious what instigated the whole mess.

That'll teach you to take the radiator cap off while the engine in warm :redbrick:

 

[Bretski1]

I just died a little inside. Where'd you go on vacation?

 

[Drcoffee]

Yes but transmission is still okay, right?


How much for the front bumper?

 

[t4r4life]

that color is the classic engine oil mix with coolant, and it shot out the rad, i would deff do a compression test for all 6 cylinders and the radiator, see if you find any leaks. sorry bud this is pretty bad.
