turbodan

Hi everyone i need help!
I have a 2wd cos which i rebuilt about 1000 miles ago but i seem to be getting oil in the coolant ive tried everything to diagnose this by bypassing the oil cooler/warmer etc. The weird thing is i dont seem to be losing any oil and theres no sign whatsoever of water in the oil WHATS GOING ON?
Please help

Was their oil contamination in the water system before the rebuild and it's maybe just not been cleaned out or properly cleaned out?

yeah a bit but its gradually been getting worse.

I THINK I HAVE A RESULT!!!

Ive been reading some previous posts about the same problem so took it upon myself to have another fault finding bash!. This time i disconnected the turbo from the coolant system and ran her up. Took her for a short drive to which i previously would have sludge back in the header. this time NOTHING i think my turbo is fooked and i dont know what to express first!!!!

LOL, she's a good girl mate, you'll be OK

As above, see https://passionford.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=203342

And you are not upgrading anything, that's how much a standard one costs !!!

Duh.

still unsure though just been playing again after flushing the system out and running her up again the sludge still keeps coming back and cant see any signs of oil coming out of the turbo water pipes. HEADACHE! .
anyone have any ideas as above only oil in water not water in oil.

i reckon it's my first suggestion, is it allot? remember oil when mixed with water goes a long way!

This is alot mate i reckon ive drained and flushud about 5 or 6 times now and must of collected about 1/4 litre in a bucket from just what was forming as a skin in the header. I spoke to someone who suggested it might be a cracked liner but i still cant understand why its only mixing one way.
Ive also done a block test thismorning and thats ok too.
