MORE 'D' BLUES



Thinking that I now have the DeLorean running well following the fuel distributor issue, I'm faced with yet another problem. Yesterday I decided to change the oil and coolant and noticed the odd small particle of oil in the coolant. So I changed the oil and filter, flushed the cooling system and refilled it with a fresh glycol mix. I also replaced the oil pressure switch with a new one as the existing switch had been weeping oil around its seal. Anyway, I took the car for a short drive and returned home to bled the system and was surprised to see oil throughout the cooling system. Not just small particles, but a complete mixture of oil and glycol. In fact, the glycol was a grey colour and frothing in the header bottle. When I released the bleed screw, oil and water mixture went everywhere. I'm hoping that the problem is just a head gasket and nothing more serious. Knowing my current run of bad luck, it will be more serious.
