OK guy's, i have an R32 GTR, that's getting oil in the water both in the rad and in the overflow bottle

not a huge amount maybe 30-40 mill's every 400k's

engine is running fine, no misse's, no smoke, done comp and leak down test's, 150 in all 6, leak down is

3-4%, not bad for a donk with 120k's, rad pressure test show's nothing, oil pressure is fine also..

i'm not loosing oil or water, and it's only oil in the water no water in the oil..

any idea's??, i'm at lose!, have i cracked a head or block??, or is it something simple and common??

was thinking i may check the water cooler around the oil filter base, see if that's crack or corroded..

and idea's or prevous experence's would be greatlly appreciated

cheers Jon

If it's not the headgasket, it could possibly be the factory oil cooler (oil warmer, oil/water heat exchanger whatever you want to call it) is leaking as it deals with the engine coolant and engine oil.

this is what i'm checking tomorrow, i cant' see it being a head gasket, it would have shown up in the leak down and

comprestion test's...

I had the same problem before my rebuild. Was a hairline crack in the block for me.

It had oil in the radiator, and overflow bottle, and was originally thought to be the head gasket. Further investigation proved otherwise.

Hope this isn't the case for you, could be expensive :thumbsup:

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
