Should I worry????

When I removed the drain plug from my 1955"s pan, I noticed a little green antifreeze came out. I used some of that coolant conditioner when I replaced my radiator about a year and a half ago that I was told would prevent electrolisis. What should I do to prevent more coolant from getting in the oil, or is it too late? What could be the cause of this problem? Are you out there Mr. Schwiebert?

Went plowing with mine one day, the next day oil ran out of the filler tube. I wouldn't panic yet maybe try some things these fellas are saying. I rebuilt mine, now thinking I should have shoved a cummins in it for the money I spent on the overhaul. Good luck!

We had a pair of 1855's with the 1955 engine that liked to leak coolant past the o-rings on the sleeves every few years. Hopefully your problem will be more simple.

Wynn's make a radiator professional sealent/conditioner that will swell up the o rings and water pump seal a little and might do the trick. I used it a couple times on some projects with success (weeping water pump seals) and it isnt like Bars leak that mucks everything up. Its about $5 at an autoparts store that carries the Wynns chemicals ...otherwise your looking at a overhaul to correct that

Wynns Radiator Sealant Part Number 68627


Add to coolant as needed or after radiator flush. Stops most radiator and heater core leaks
Stops leaks in engine block core expansion plugs
Protects against coolant loss
Prevents head gasket seepage

Once the o-rings at the bottom of the sleeves start leaking, the only thing that I've seen fix them is tearing her down and replacing them. Pretty common on the 283's and 310's. Then you want to make sure the groove in the block were the o- rings go are in good shape, not cavitated too bad.

If its leaking any more then lightly weeping past the o rings then I agree the teardown would be the correct choice.

How much antifreeze in the oil pan when it was drained?

Just a little, not more than a thimble full.

I'd try the $5 Wynns sealent fix first then. If it swells up those o rings a bit you will likely get years out of it before needing to do the overhaul.

Keep an eye on that engine oil though for contamination as antifreeze kills your bearings in a hurry. The overhaul could get real expensive then.

Let us know how you make out.
