Oil in coolant resevior
 
So I take it to the dealer and they tell me that it is the aftermarket BOV's fault that this has happened because a hose came off. They also state they doubt the head gasket is blown.Is this at all possible. I searched to the point im just fed up and didnt see anything about this. Any tips to how the oil got there without the head gasket being blown?? The car has 33k on it. Ive had it 3-4 months. Mods are only HKS SSQV and Corksport SRI.

spitfire6977 12-20-2012 05:36 PM

That better? Im a bit of a noob

KevMS6 12-20-2012 05:46 PM

Did your dealer do a complete coolant change for you?
Did they say if a lot of oil in there?
Has oil came back if coolant got replaced?

Maybe consider an oil change also but I'm unsure how easy it would be to inspect the oil... Easy I would guess but I'm no expert.

spitfire6977 12-20-2012 05:49 PM

im doing the coolant flush in the morning myself. it looks like shit covered in poop. i took it from the dealer because the tech sounded mildly hadicapped

simply_pandora 12-20-2012 05:57 PM

Go back to the beginning...
Why did it end up in the dealership in the first place?

How much oil was it? How long since previous oil change?

spitfire6977 12-20-2012 06:03 PM

did the oil change the day before and took it to dealer for a CEL

KevMS6 12-20-2012 06:08 PM

And did everything look good/normal prior to oil change?

spitfire6977 12-20-2012 06:19 PM

yup

simply_pandora 12-20-2012 06:22 PM

Well oil change is the most basic of things to do.. There's very little that could have caused oil to push back like that..
How much oil was in the coolant?

TapaFAIL!!!

spitfire6977 12-20-2012 06:23 PM

i actually just went out to my car and took a little coolant out and it looked completely normal but from a distance looks like mud
also thanks for all your help

easy 12-20-2012 06:23 PM

sounds like the mazda tech u were talking is handicapped, hose off the bov will only cause a vac leak

check your oil cap/dip stick for chocolate milk looking gunk also ....

did the car ever overheat?

Tokay444 12-20-2012 06:27 PM

Have you ever used water wetter?

spitfire6977 12-20-2012 06:29 PM

nah just looked it just has a little fresh oil on it

KevMS6 12-20-2012 06:29 PM

Oil level looking good?
See how your coolant change goes... Hopefully it's nothing.

skeeter149 12-20-2012 06:29 PM

has any one added water wetter or anything like that? i have heard of it causing the fl22 or oem coolant to sludge up. never seen it so just throwing something out there. and what hoe was off the bpv? the recirc big one or the little vac line? it only has 2 iirc.

spitfire6977 12-20-2012 06:32 PM

the vac line on the end away from the bov. oil level looks good prolly half way up the line. and it looks normal there too. and no to the water wetter

motherfnmonsta 12-20-2012 06:41 PM

Hmmm I think he is a retard, but have you put any kind of additives in your coolant. Also have fun with getting the air out of the system, mazda's are a pain in the ass to get air out.

KevMS6 12-20-2012 06:43 PM

How long have you owned the car?
Long shot but previous owner could of put wetter water in?
Edit - read first post... 3-4 months so its a possiblly for sure.

spitfire6977 12-20-2012 06:51 PM

no and getting air out? where do i start?

It does.

Sid3wayS 12-20-2012 07:50 PM

Ive had watter wetter in my system for like 40k miles no gunk in my shiz.

Also OP what was the cel you took it in for?

easy 12-20-2012 10:43 PM

it leaves some kind of residue or build up in the hoses. I had to change one of the oil cooler hose and it had pinkish/orange residue lining the inside of the hose. Plus i haven't ran the water wetter since two flushes ago and it also left stains on my reservoir.

Are you running fl22 or standard coolant?

When I did the last flush I used standard coolant.

MazdaBoy2.3 12-21-2012 06:03 AM

What was the cel ?

That's why you don't have sludge.

Oic it's only with fl22 then. I shuts up now.

spitfire6977 12-21-2012 09:14 AM

the cel was a vacuum leak from the bov being disconnected

Tokay444 12-21-2012 03:22 PM

Do a compression test for good measure.

kritz 12-21-2012 04:31 PM

I can confirm this... Fl22 + Watter wetter = bad news.
