Okay, so im not sure exactly whats going on here, i'll describe whats going on and i'de appriate your guys/gals opinions
97 GTP
Almost 240K miles, but still runs suprisingly well.
Recently replaced mt radiator and hose's (because i had a leak on one of the plastic sode tanks)
Okay so i replaced it, filled with cool ant and havnt had any issues for about a month, last night, the "low coolant" light comes on while sitting in a drive thru, and it starts getting a little hot (a tad over 1/2 way mark)
So i get home and check resevious tank, empty.
Pop the radiator cap and theres this thick brown sludge type stuff was Im on the cap and down the radiator neck, and radiator was pretty much empty of any coolant.
Why would this be happening?
Im pretty sure it has the plastic type LIM gaskets.
What im thinking is somehow it has developed a internal coolant leak somehow (does not leak on the ground or dont see any coolant pooled up.on LIM)
I also have replaced elbows with aluminum ones.
I am hoping i can replace my LIM and be done, since this cars my DD, untill i get my 2000GTP motor back in and running.
No coolant in the oil , dipstick.looks fine, no mixing. And from what i can see down into the valve.cover, no moxing in there either.
Possible head gasket?
or LIM?
Also not sure of this is worth mentioning, the car for some while , upon start up has a rough idle (sounds like it has a cam) but it runs and drives fine, and sometimes it idles fine, i only seem to notice when its idling or first started.
Any input is appricated!!
Thanks
