Re: Coolant in oil
I can soak the valve next Saturday LOL. I'm not going to go any further until I can make sure parts are available. Just for clarification, the coolant that was in the oil pan was green Prestone antifreeze. It wasn't clear or rusty.

Coolant in oil
Newb here. I don't own the T, just think of me as Jay Leno's mechanic LOL. It has sat for 2 or 3 years, so I'm trying to get it running. The owner said he drove it when he first bought it. I went to change the oil and there was some antifreeze in the oil pan. Not a lot, only an ounce or two. Is this...
