HELP! White Gunk in Coolant tank.

[Isosunrise91]

Update: coolant clearly leaking from driver side tire area. More so leaking directly under car close to the oil drain plug area...

Any updates? What originally caused the issue? Did you have oil in your cooling system? Where was the oil from?

Update:


hole/tare in hose going from water pump to the head of the engine. Per the indy this is not something that they ever replace. I did have a major oil leak prior to this repair months earlier and they believe the hose could have had lots of hot oil burning this "hole" but are not certain.

White gunk in the expansion tank was deemed as normal. Most likely residual oil from the first messy job. Lots of coolant/oil mix in the coolant system.

Coolant system flushed again, Hose from pump to head replaced, Coolant filled. $664 at my indy.

Cant keep up with this truck. I can't imagine getting a pre-LCI model as they are apparently prone to same issues + more. Ill tell you this, previous owner did little to no maintenance.

If you have oil in cooling system it isn’t coming from an leak burning a hole in a hose - the cooling system is under pressure , it would not allow oil to enter - are there any symptoms or issues? Transmission any coolant contamination?

There is not oil in cooling system currently.

In November I had a major oil/coolant mixture in the coolant expansion tank only. Oil was covered on the drive belt as well. This was due to Oil filter housing gasket gone bad.

Issue was resolved.

Hose now going from pump to head was also covered on the exterior with old oil. They are not sure why the hose would have a hole in it could have been from hot oil from previous mess dripping over the hose. Not to sure
