Leaky Boot
Member
Using machine and had alot of steam from valve cover breather tube. Shut down and oil was about a gallon too full with water. Drained out and put in clean oil. Pumped pressure test to 10 psi and it seemed to hold. Put in a bottle of K-Seal and did some work then shut down. Checked oil couple hours later and had 2 to 3 qts overfull and the typical light cream color look from water. No oil showing in cooling system. Anyone had problem with the 555D getting a sudden water leak like this? It would be helpful to know what you found was the problem on your machine. Does the 256 engine have wet sleeves? I'm hoping just a headgasket. Thanks in advance for comments. LB
