Could still be the cooler though.

I was thinking about it today. Could coolant get behind the timing cover and drip into pan via the water pump? I had this thing running for about a minute or two. If the cooler was bad wouldn't I find oil in the coolant??

 

[79jasper]

Yes it very well could.
And yes since oil is higher pressure, you should see it in the coolant also.

I think 4 of the bolts need sealer on them.

 

[SyicoIDI]

Yeah I put sealer on the water pump bolts. I think I am going to pull my timing cover and see whats going on. I think I might have forgot gasket sealer on both sides of the gaskets for the timing cover.

 

[79jasper]

Could be. No telling until you get it apart.

Got the water pump off and it was all puky. So I pulled of the timming cover and it looks like the water was leaking past the timing cover gaskets and into the pan. I am going to drop the pan clean it up and replace timming gaskets.
