Thread: Coolant elbow question

So I had my 99 GTP looked at in December because the coolant elbows were shot, from a quick look they said lower intake but after getting under the hood they said elbows. They also told me coolant was in my oil and I was losing lubrication in my engine. They showed me the oil cap and it was brown and crusty on top and said that was coolant. Made sense. So I changed my oil today and the oil cap looked the same as it did before I had the elbows and flush done... So my question is can coolant even get into your oil through the elbows?? Or is brown crusty crap on the cap normal?

Yea GR. So LIM is the only way coolant can enter the oil?? Just wondered why the cap looks the same as it did when they showed me it before the work was done...

It was black but the cap looked like the coolant cap all nasty brown. Maybe it just got never wiped off. I'll have to check it in a few days. Thanks

There is for sure a new silver gasket like above the oil pan. Is that it?? I notice it everytime I change the oil. Thats the only thing silver on the engine... There is oil and crap everywhere... but Whats the best way to get a look at the LIM? Looking under the hood or get under the car?
