Subject:HELP-antifreeze in oil
From:Patrick Larsen
Date:Fri, 8 Jan 1999 12:00:41 -0600

Well, I've been trying to unsubscribe for weeks now without success and it
now appears the vanagods were hindering me for a reason. Here's the problem:

I was cruising to work this morning, doing about 40mph and all of a sudden
I lost all power. Looked in rearview mirror to see billowing white smoke.
Coolant light flashing. I turned it off immediately and there was oil
dripping everywhere and the coolant level was way down. Pulled out dipstick
to find a milkshake-like combination of oil/antifreeze.

Can anyone give me an idea as to what has happened and a possible remedy?

Please send replies to my personal mail box in case I'm magically
unsubscribed.

Thank you,
Patrick
