360 Oil On Top of Intake Manifold between Red Manifold Covers (Pic)

Did you overfill your motor oil - recent oil change etc ?

 

Check heat exchanger....could it be a leak on lines to heat exchanger (gear oil) ..what does it smell like..motor or gear oil ? .. can also be hoses to oil aerator /fill


Clean as best you can and see where ..

The coolant on floor can just be a weak coolant cap ..they are know to not last long and leak under pressure ..is it where the overflow tube is coming out if diffuser?

It was changed 5 months ago but was it overfilled? Have u checked it?

 

Looks like more oil residue on the back panel too. Engine bay looks very dirty. Start with a hell of a detail ,steam clean and have a clean place to start looking.

 

This ^^^^^^

To be clear What I'm asking is when it was changed 5 months ago did they overfill it then. Yes this can occur If they did

 

Check oil level hot now.

 

Don't do anything until it's checked out, if it's the exchanger then you'd be doing more harm. I wouldn't even start it until you know what's happening.

 

See if there is coolant in trans fluid.

 

I am the person that you are referring to that had the exact same problem. Don't panic. That is exactly what I did, it was the wrong thing to do and it cost me a bundle.. First of all, is the engine running fine with normal parameters? Normal temps and oil pressures etc. My experiences are on a 430. There are two heat exchangers on the 430 one is for the crankcase oil and the other smaller one is for the transmission F1. It turned out to be one the coolant was very low and the oil was way overfilled. It looked to me like coolant was in the oil as the coolant tank was empty, Wrong conclusion. Transmission oil was clean and clear. My friends drained both systems, No water in oil and no oil in coolant. Pressure tested the cooling system for an hour and no leak. Pulled a vacuum on the cooling system and no leaks. Tested coolant for combustion products and no contamination. Refilled coolant to proper level with Zerex G05 and refilled oil with 10 quarts of oil. Replaced the radiator pressure cap. No problems since. I had to eat a restocking fee on the 1700 dollar crankcase heat exchanger because I panicked and was sure that was the problem, and ordered it before the true picture became clear. What I think happened is that I didn't check coolant very often and it was leaking out of the radiator cap that was 17 years old. When I checked it it there was no coolant in the expansion tank. Then checked the oil and it looked like brown clumps of water, foam and goo was 3/4 up the stick even when checking it cold after starting, thus leading me to the panicked conclusion wrongly that all the coolant was in the crankcase thus the very high brown muddy foamy appearance to the oil on the dipstick. What we believe to have been the problem was that the oil was way overfilled and that there was a slow coolant loss with a weak radiator cap and that the overfilled oil really foams severely and looks like it has coolant in it. I hope that helps. Good luck.

I hope that helps. Good luck .Lesson learned, check oil after every drive idling and with a welders glove on check the oil. At the proper level no or minimal foam. Park car and pull engine lid release. before starting the car prior to the next drive, when cold check coolant level with a flashlight and a ruler, It should be 1.57 in below top of filler neck edge on coolant tank. Monitor each of these fluid levels and you will get a better idea of consumption, and losses etc. I recommend replacing the radiator cap as that is the only source of loss that I could think of.

 

Sorry this posted 3 times I don't know how to delete duplicates. Computer was hanging when I was trying to edit it. Sorry

 

Good news. Absolutely do not overfill the oil.( Mine took two 5 quart jugs exactly) Check it after a drive while hot and idling. Overfilling can mess up the throttle bodies. and end up in the intake manifolds. Sounds like you are all set. I replaced the coolant cap and I think that made a big difference in keeping the coolant level perfect. Check it before starting the car when cold. That is now my ritual and you get a better idea of consumption, loss etc.
