Cracked coolant port(s) in the cylinder head usually. Although, I’ve seen people put washer fluid in power steering reservoirs. So yeah pouring coolant directly into the engine could also result in this nightmare.
/Also in modern cars, the liquid/liquid oil coolers fail surprisingly often.
Yeah, that underside of an engine is way too spotless and clean to have driven the distance needed to break down engine oil.
Agreed with both of you.
That’s the classic “milkshake” color and is definitely from coolant.
How would coolant get in there? A mechanical failure, or would someone have to literally pour coolant into the oil hole?
Very common with a blown head gasket, though I’m not sure how often that happens in modern cars
Very often with modern smaller turbo motors. The head is under pressure and sooner or later, the head gasket fails.
As usual, all Ford EcoBoost motors have this problem. EcoBoom.
