Got my engine a bit warm last year because the rad cap was leaking and my gauge wasn't working at the time. It hadn't lost much coolant, so I topped it up with water to limp home.
Forgot all about it and it sat most of the winter. Ran it for a while today on the drive, and I've got steam pouring out of two core plug holes, while 2 core plugs lie in the ground beneath.
No big deal I thought, just replace them.... but then I discover both holes are full of oil.
No sign of water in the oil, no emulsification on the stick or at the filler.
Ran a compression test and have nearly 400psi on all except pot 5 which is making at least 340psi.
I'm assuming it's broken through the head gasket between oil and water, but happy to hear any other suggestions before I tear it apart (once I track down a mythical head gasket for a H motor that is...).
