- vs 96
I have a 96 VS I'm having issues with it's using coolent like no tomorrow, I don't have a leak in the radiator.
I filed the over flow bottle up yesterday drove probly 30ks and this morning when I moved the car there was a oil spot on the drive way about the size of my palm with a few bright green spots on top, I lifted the oil lid and found light frothy looking crap in the cap, with a few drops of water that poured out when I tilted the lid.. My dip stick isn't saying it needs oil and it's not milky looks just like oil (black & due for a service) I needed to put more coolent in today as over flow was empty.. (keep hear a gurgling noise just near the steering wheel) the car hasn't lost any power, but she hates idling the temp starts going up (pretty fast) but then as it drives she drops right back.. I've driven her 450ks from home and just wondering what do you think... She did boil once bout 3 Yrs ago but then literally sat in my yard for three yrs then I put rego on her and voilà she drove fine.. The coolent issue has started in the last month. But today I got stuck at road works and she was left idling after which pulled up and turned of car and spotted a huge puddle of watery oily crap I near slipped when I stood in it. I added water and she didn't miss a beat on the hwy for another 300ks ..
Sorry for the novel I wanted to cover it all
