Re: Whats THIS all about...
Ewwww! First step to a clog somewheres. I'd flush it asap and see how it goes from there checking on it a lot.

Re: Whats THIS all about...
Could be a gasket failure somewhere. Lower intake manifold or heads. Check your oil too.

Re: Whats THIS all about...
1) check your oil
2) any thick, white smoke coming out of the exhaust?
3) add anything recently to it? Even if the bottle of coolant says something to the tune of "Mixes with ALL COLORS AND BRANDS," you still shouldn't add it to the system if you have dexcool already in thereComment

Re: Whats THIS all about...
Mine is a very little like this. I have done the intake gasket the last week and there is this moisture on my lower intake gasket(passenger side). Oil could be mixed with coolant in this point.
But i don't know today if i loose coolant (only 50miles)
Do the intake gasket, mine were shot and the car had only 65000....Comment

Re: Whats THIS all about...
The older line of Dexcool did this type of thing when foreign matter or liquid was introduced into the system. Sometimes even if regular tap water was mixed in vice distilled water, or sometimes bubbling air from a leak somewhere. I'd flush the crap out of the ENTIRE coolant system, then add in the new stuff. Green. Orange. It doesn't matter now-a-days. They're both fine.Comment

Re: Whats THIS all about...
i do want to do the intake gaskets. but the oil is right as rain, no funky color. just oil. there is a little moisture in the oil. i see this when i take off the oil cap, worse in the winter.(more water biulds up)
I couldnt do and EntirE flush cuz i couldnt drain the the coolant from the block. i cant find the kncock sensors, or anything to unscrew to get the old coolant out. so i did a good flush, but a half *** flush since i never drained to block. i spent all day messing with it. but that GOO is still stuck to everything in the rad. i can only get it off by wiping it off with towels. so i think illl need a new rad soon. car cools fine tho.
wouldnt a gasket leak also leak outside the engine somewhere, or is the intake gasket supposed to seal off the intake part? im not a retard with this stuff, but im trying to draw conculsions here. i dont have a leak, just this wicked goo.
never mixed it up with green. and the white smoke isnt there.
how do you flush the entire system out?

Nope, not at allOriginally posted by HeadyFirebird'00 View Post
Not quite. In your intake, there are oil and coolant passages; that's what the gaskets are meant to seal.or is the intake gasket supposed to seal off the intake part?Comment

Re: Whats THIS all about...
I had water spot on my oil cap too. A little less with the intake gasket changeComment

Re: Whats THIS all about...
I had the same thing in my 2000 Firebird, The Pontiac guy called it the Dexcool Sludge, drained and refilled..no damage to anything..seems the sludge floats or something bizzare..most will end up in the overfill tankComment

Re: Whats THIS all about...
just keep flushing it until you get it all. might take a couple times before you get it all, but eventually it'll come out.
current car- 95 Trans am- bolt ons, parked and collecting dust. why? because **** it

Re: Whats THIS all about...
I also had the same exact problem. Just flush the system and you'll be fine. It may take more than one flush though...Comment

Re: Whats THIS all about...
Prestone has a back flush system that you can use to reverse flush your system using the outlet hose for the heater core. I had the same sludge from Dexcrap and it took multiple flushes and cleaners.
I, of course, switched over to the green stuff.Comment
