[QUOTE="Stalker27, post: 10632821, member: 66269"] Guys I honestly don't know what is goin on with this car. At this point i'm thinking its just F'n with me. The other night when i originally put on my new cap on overflow and burped the car i saw lil what i thought to be droplets of oil in the funnel as the car idled while i was burping. Also saw the car smoking out both tail pipes. So i shut it down, checked dipstick & still no coolant on the dipstick. Pulled all plugs out & let sit out overnight & not a one crystalized like the pic of plug above. So the next morning (sunday) i check plugs & there fine, check dipstick..its fine. So i decided to burp the car again. This time while burping i had to add more didtilled water to it. I'd put a lil in and dissapear, put a lil more in and dissapear. Finally got it where it would stay where i wanted. Shut car off & it made 4 big burps & fluid went down. NOW... What i dont understand is where & why there was an oily/water trail on the floor. I mean it was brownish water & deff had oil in it & it came off the passenger side of the block & quite a bit. I said F it i'm going to drive it & return that crappy ass pressure tester i rented Drove it around for about an hour with a buddy of mine in his Cobra that just put a McLeod twin disk in his so where putting miles on it. The car did not once show any sign of over heating, didn't spew out the cap, pulled its ass off, no smoke of any kind, and idled just fine, and no smell of antifreeze out of the exhaust either.
