Oil Leak, Warped block?

By CaliEJ2
- Tue Jun 09, 2009 9:05 pm #121749 Right when i dropped my b16 it wasnt doing this. And for some reason my fan stopped working and it overheated about 3 times. And then it started to leak oil between the head and block on the corner by where the tranny is. After that i had the head resurfaced and with another new head gasket but it still keeps doing it. Could it be a warped block?

Definitely a problem when your coolant passages become gummed up with oil like veins after you eat at Mc Donalds.

And you definitely don't want coolant in your oil. water & oil don't mix and you can't lubricate your engine with water.

I'd check it out asap :thumb:

- Thu Jun 18, 2009 7:15 pm #124079 im going to get the block resurfaced in about a week or two when i move. It sucks living in apartments. Ive been checking the oil and the water constantly and it looks fine, nothing weird. i dont drive it a lot for the same reason, but when i do i drive like a grandma. But im definitely not going to drive it for years like that.
