Hi...
New guy here. Under pressure of course. Massive water getting into my
oil. Hoping it's just the intake gasket. Got the lower manifold off. Left rear intake has lots of milkshake in it and on the valve. Hoping that's where the problem is. Got my new Felpro gasket kit but am curious why the rear elongated rubber stoppers covering the small ports @ the back of the engine block that were on my original gasket are "open" on the new gasket. There are identical ports in the front that are "open" on both gaskets. Confusing I know.
I'll send a pic. of the frnt one. Also I'm wondering if THAT much coolant could have REALLY got in through the intake. My whole engine is slathered in mayonnaise. I'll send a pic.
 






1. Front port I'm talking about.
The rear one had a rubber plug in it on the original gasket.
The new gsket doesn't. ??

2. Can this really be caused by an intake gasket???

i just had my intake gasket let go.I was losing coolant but none was getting inot my oil. In my experiences, the only time i have had coolant get into my oil was when a head gasket failed. I hope youre lucky and thats not the problem.
