Hi randy Almost 1.am her Philippine i enjoy watching your channel.. I think crack head ..
@@juakintuazonofficial3958 Thank you sir!
Aaaarrrrggg randy youre a tease leaving the video like that come on man be fair dont leave us all hangin
Rebuild your oil cooler & flush cooling system
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds is the overflow or rad bubbling or overly pressurized ? My that must be a sweet smelling cooling system.......................Like your diction anyway with relatives from ENID .OK
Oil in reservoir is too thick and too clean, I would bet someone put it in by mistake
That's kind-of what I was thinking, too. I hope that this works out well for him.
I agree. Sadly it is not unheard of people mistakenly putting wrong liquids in wrong places.
or SABATOUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOMEBODY wanted the car cheep so they did the deed to deter bidding
My thoughts exactly Mobil 1 is quite thin.
@manboobs and the petroleum based oils softened the hoses and when he pressurized the system, they blow.bummer!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best thing about your channel is not all about 1 car you go into many different makes and it keeps me interested good content and the fact that your not afraid to ask for help when you need shows your real about your content thank you for the content
Very nice video.I am not into Porsche,but it was fun to watch your video,you explain things very clear.I am exciting to see your next video.Keep up the good work.Greetings from the Netherlands.
Interesting stuff Randy. Good skills man.
That orange looking gel is not oil. It is most certainly Dex-Cool. Smell it. Oil mixed with water or antifreeze has a very distinct odor or smell. Besides causing metals, plastics, gaskets, and rings to deteriorate and rust Dex-Cool is susceptible to air contamination. When the air gets into the coolant system it causes the coolant to gum up. Stop leaks will do the same. There are various reasonable/intelligent things you can do to determine if there is a real problem but since you have no personal history with your new purchase the logical solution to your problem would be to start with the easiest and least expensive DIY. Flush and backflush the engine with running water. Thermostat removed. Same thing to the radiator. If it isn't wintertime leave water in, thermostat off and burp and top off. Run the vehicle for two weeks while checking the fluid in the radiator. Closely monitor your oil. Fluid should be dirty, due to residual buildup, but not as it originally was. Flush again and refill with non DexCool antifreeze and install a new thermostat. Run the vehicle for a week while monitoring radiator fluid and engine oil. If no contamination then the problem solved. If not there are DIY tests before you should consult professionals. Good luck. You have a beautiful Porsche.
I bet the motor is ok since the oil level in the motor is fine. It's likely just residual from a crappy job by the installer in failing to flush the cooling system thoroughly. Hopefully you luck out... Beauty of a car and in a manual. 👍
Keep at it Randy, you could be lucky!
that is a common VAG Volkswagen Auto Group, engine issue, my 2.0l 99.5 golf GTI, does the same, for 150,000 miles, now. Synthetic oil helps
Ur driveway is starting to look like a Copaart lot. Lol. U collecting or flipping.Lol thanks for vid
I can't sell them lol.
Alternatively Randy, you could get all the water out of the system and run an oil based coolant. 👌
The vacuum 'probably' split a hose....that could be why it's leaking water now.
good job whoever put oil in the coolent container didnt put coolent in the oil
dude no shit you popped a hose off, your expansion tank was full when you started driving. also laundry soap bubbles up and expands quite a bit when heated and shaken, and not to mention the water expanding from heat as well. you were begging and pleading to pop a hose off that thing. theres also a possibility that your radiator cap has a relief valve in it and under enough pressure allowed the cooling system to leak.
I have a much more modest car, a Renault, which has happened the same. One day I discovered engine oil in the coolant tank and immediately feared the worst, a broken cylinder head gasket and a very expensive repair. I took it to an official dealer and the repair amounts to 450 euros, taxes and labor included (about 500 U.S. dollars). In my case the breakdown occurred in the compartment that houses the thermostat, apparently deforms with time and heat received and produces the mixture of oil with refrigerant. I hope that in your case it is something like this, that you should not spend more money on that car and you can make a good profit with its sale. Cordial greetings from Spain.
Should have used hot water
Hey randy! I really think if you did in video ads instead of TH-cam ads it would benefit you more.
The suspense is killing me what is the leak under the car? There would be water in the crank case oil if the head was cracked.
The nice chrome twist wheels..... Mate, they are horrific.
Time for an LS1 swap
Say a prayer,i can't believe they could release a car with the problems you describe porsche need their buts kicked.................
Where is the follow up video?
Oh for christ sake get to it , stop fu..ing around .
AGREED!!!
EXACTLY,,,,next!
Just "" SHOUT IT OUT ALREADY""
It looks like someone topped off the coolant reservoir with oil by mistake
well it is a shitty design.... that why prosche made them since only people who familiar with it will work on it... cheap business plan sound like something apple would do....
@@campkira That is why cars come with "Owner's Manuals". Of course, you have to be able to read and have a mouth not lacking teeth. LOL I was thinking the same thing, maybe someone poured engine oil in there by mistake.
They make great cars that are "engineered" which is why they win so many endurance races.
People are real stupid!
PORSCHE APOLOGISTS UNITE.....Don't drink the GERMAN Kool Aid !!!! FORZA ALFA BABY !!!!
THE KING IS BACK !!!!
@Pat Ball Buster !!! You're obviously a brain washed SHEEP !!! Drinking the German Kool Aid...
Porsche = VW

That is the true history that cannot be denied.....
911 IMS Bearing failures
911 Fuel pumps that self ignite
911 Electronic gremlins thanks to VW sourced electronic crap !!!
FORZA ALFA BABY !!! THE KING IS BACK !!!! Don't be a SHEEP !!! Think for yourself !!!!
Randy 3 minutes in the video and I already know where you are going I had the same issue on my 97 f150 and it turned out to be the oil cooler I think I used at least a gallon of Dawn dishwashing soap and some la awesome degreaser
LA Awesome rocks!! CHEAP and effective, don't let it drip on plastics tho (like I did)
Spot on. I'd pressure-test the oil cooler, if it's built into the radiator.
That was my first impression, possible oil cooler issue
@@midnightgambler3718 Super Clean is better, it is $9.98 per gallon at Walmart so maybe not as cheap as LA Awesome but it is much more powerful - so once diluted it ends up being cheaper. Nothing wrong with LA Awesome though, it does the trick!
Oil cooler on my boats generators do this. But there's 500 gallons of water/coolant to clean out. Engineering never flushes it out 🤦♂️
I spotted the problem! Someone put the engine in the trunk!
😂😂😂
Dont you mean frunk.
@@mikemcc5149 No. The frunk is "front trunk."
were my corvairs engines are lol
@Todd m No but Apparently your deaf.
That was the best Porsche pronounciation from an American that i have ever heard, and i have heard a lot. Kudos from Germany : )
LMFAO
You have a point! Flush the coolant and see what's up! Hopefully that's all it is!
Randy is awesome.. hope it will get an easy fix with this Porsche.. ;0)
To help get numbers. I still watch. Not as quickly as others I am interested in. I do forget to watch some walk about videos. I do like what you do. Wouldn't want you to stop making videos until it's a personal choice.
I want to see if it starts blowing bubbles out the tailpipe. 😜
Like Willy Wonka
hsaW aknaW.
Or Alf Alfa
I have ran dawn dish soap in the coolant system of a car once to clean out out from a failed headgasket. It didn't bubble but it did smell funny. (It was ran as a presoak before taking engine apart to replace head gasket so coolant was still leaking into the cylinders)
Lol
I live in the uk and I love the 911 and cant wait for the next video. I going to show this video to my friend who works on 911's all day long as he works t the dealship. I'll let you know what he thinks. Take care ❤
I went through the same freaking issue on a 2000 911 carrera. Thank God I had a warranty. End result was cracked block. And the Porsche deal ship never flushed my cooling system. When I picked up the car I made it one block before the car overheated due to not bleeding the air out of the cooling system. Bottom line such a huge disappointment in every level
That is not oil... i bet someone mixed coolant types and they reacted to the point of creating that gunk. The same thing happened with GM Dexcool. Just flush with tap water, then flush with distilled water and then fill with the proper coolant.
Dexcool was introduced when GM introduced aluminum blocks and heads. It worked where the "green stuff"/silicate coolant could not.
Due to aluminum being porous, it was found that the factory would add a mild stop leak into the coolant as a supplement to control seepage of coolant. The stop leak was made from ginger root (a byproduct of a nearby ginger ale bottling company), and crushed walnut shells. The uninformed thought the coolant was turning to mud, and switched to the green stuff which corroded the head bolts - or stopped using the stop leak supplement, and air was introduced i to the cooling system which caused air pockets, and even worse gelling with any stop leak already in the system.
Randy keep doing what your doing the haters don't know anything Porsche rock
I can’t imagine why the place that replaced the motor wasn’t liable after only 1000 miles
Don't think he wanted to sue the same company twice!
Dude On Bike I would have
I knew this would be good without even reading the title.
Did you check the oil cooler? When these crack internally, they cause the same issue
Common on BMWs as well...
I'm pretty sure it was this too.
Since he does not know whether the head is cracked yet he should not need to bother with that yet but it is good to know.
Some radiators have transmission pipes inside that can split.. But I have had this happened... It looks like engine oil in this case
It could be a sloppy job at the dealer. They probably only changed the engine and did not clean rest of the engine bay.
We who care are hooked...
Will the flush work?
Is the heater hose cracked?
These questions and more will be answered on the next episode of...
As the Porsche Burns(Randy's wallet) 🤣
SOAP!
@@NotMarkKnopfler - Yeah! He didn't put in the best part. Then again, maybe he assumed we'd all know, but if you weren't around back then, or don't get the classic TV channel it's on late Saturday nights, you'll have no clue that there's an awesome punchline to top off all the associated references.
I wondered if it was malicious damage, because of sour grapes from the garage that swop the engine.
That weird stuff happens alot at clay Cooley Chevrolet
Had to be sour grapes my dog is even smart enough to know better than to put oil into a radiator. Only a really disturbed or really stupid person would do something so LAME
I was behind a 911 on a twisty 2 lane mountain road. I was on a quick motorcycle. The 911 was poping out very quickly into the opposing lane to look for space to pass. Every time the 911 stayed flat. Its suspension never tilted at all. It popped in & out at will. Then he hit it to pass, I did same & I've never seen a car accelerate like a motorcycle.
make sure you add some water pump lube after you get done flushing so the water pump doesn't start leaking due to the soap drying out the shaft seal
If it is a cracked head and instead of putting the OEM engine you can get an adaptor and a Subaru engine and get more HP and less money than the OEM. Offset by selling the bones of the Porsche engine.
Hmmm...I just wonder if someone "added" oil to the wrong place....lol! I have one of those airlift tools as well, they are pricey but a great tool to have for changing coolant.....very handy! Not a big fan of porsche or this car in particular but I'll definitely be interested to see what happens to it as you work on it.
My idea is just what you said: I think it's residual oil left over from the previous engine. I really hoping with you that it is that diamond in the rough. Keep an eye on it after you flush it and then see how she does. If it seems to have a cracked head, it will show eventually. One step at a time. It was still a great buy!
As a mechanic of many years I have always used this method to remove oil from coolant passages. More in diesels then gas. I have had very good success using Tide powder. Flush many times. First soap solution very heavy with soap and less each time until just plain water.
than
Don't keep us waiting too long to see what comes out of that thing after the flushing.....thats gotta be some nasty stuff...lol!
it could be residual oil as my girlfriend's commodore had a blown engine when we brought it and had the same type of problem,but that oil looks fresh i'd be more inclined to say it's blown the oil cooler in the rad,you could also do a compression check on the motor to eliminate the head as that's a cheap test
Someone probably thought it was power steering reserve
Jiffy lube added oil for previous owner? oops....
HAHAHA
Jiffy lube is assisted suicide for automobiles.
I worked at one as a kid
Seen some horrible things happen to people's cars
If you cant fix it.....get an 98 boxster and order the 3.2x engine from flat6....they are the real deal!
Looking at the vacuum it was holding steady my guess is the head is fine just residual oil in the system. 👍
I’m with you on the alternator 😂 must be a southern boy thing. 🤣
@@Crustychevrolet Vermont same way
Same in Minnesota
@@Crustychevrolet yo.........................
@Michael Gman nope, alt ern a tor
If the head was cracked it would not run right.
It looks like a person put new oil in the wrong container. Plus as you were draining the coolant out, the coolant wasn't frothy with oil. Oil floats on water, and as you were draining the coolant from the bottom of the engine, it looked like the oil had stayed at the top of the coolant reservoir, and not introduced into the coolant from a lower part of the engine. You have a good engine, just flush the coolant areas out real good and use the correct coolant for that year of Porsche and have fun.
Laundry soap with lemon in it will get rid of the oil,,this is what is needed to be done with big trucks when an oil cooler messes up
I had a 2000 996 and this exact same problem. I fixed it by Replacing the air oil separator. It has a rubber diaphragm that goes bad. You still have to flush it out but if you don't replace the AOS it will happen again. www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Porsche-996-997-Carrera/09-ENGINE-Air_Oil_Separator/09-ENGINE-Air_Oil_Separator.htm
Randy that looks like an oil cooler split. Definitely not an engine issue
A lot of brands are using cheap grade aluminum in their components including engine heads. That coupled with the thin aluminium web between water jacket & the valve train; this is what causes the crack. The thin low grade aluminium next to where all of the torque from valve train; this is the culprit that causes cracking. The thing is its impossible to repair because even brand new replacement heads have the same flaw ; this is true especially in the cheaper brands that have this issue such as the Dodge Neon & PT Cruiser for example. People don't realize until the motor overheats is because the engine is loosing coolant into the oil pan causing other issues like warping etc. They usually blame the problem on thermostat failure. Because the stat is ruined they replace it, and water pump etc. then refill with fresh coolant etc. then call it good. Then being unaware of the cracks the owner / driver fails to keep an eye on the coolant reservoir making sure that it maintains constant proper "HOT / "COLD" levels. In fact the problem is so bad owners should check their coolant reservoir everyday in these vehicles.
someone put oil in wrong place and thats all.....it will be ok after flush.
Washed plenty of engines with liquid tide.that looks like residual oil.take thermostat out and flush 4 or 5 times.drive about 100 miles each time.then put thermostat back in with coolant. If u still get oil in water.pour in a quart of liquid glass from drug store.it will fix problem.
Wow u can make a huge profit on that if I would be you I would sell it but I would keep it for like 3-5 more weeks
I bet it has an oil cooler into the coolant jacket that is part of the oil filter housing. When they fail, oil gets in the water under certain conditions, but water never gets into the oil. Happens in post 2000 VW engines.
The original engine blew up because the oil was drained and new oil was put into the coolant reservoir.
10 miles without any oil should just about do it.
MrHairyTeabag yeah that’s my bet too
REALLYY????Did that owner have a DINER???
Even a total moron would know something is wrong when 7 quarts of oil come out and the reservoir is full. How do you get the new oil in the coolant reservoir with coolant in it?
I think anyone with enough intelligence to remove the old oil is going to know better than to drive it before putting a significant amount of oil back into it.
First thing I thought about when he showed the oil on his finger in beginning. Costly mistake. Shame
First thing I thought about when he showed the oil on his finger in beginning. Costly mistake. Shame
Hey randy it could also be a engine oil cooler letting oil into the coolant side of the cooler
Alternator? Alder Nader? I think that was Ralph Naders younger brother. 🤔
Altnader
Black ppl call it an AU IGHT' NAAGA 😆
Did the prior owner ever have to add any oil? That much oil in the coolant would show a loss on the dip-stick.
Some times contaminants end up in systems by mistake of people simply pouring fluids in the wrong fill locations!
bob davenport like mixing dexcool and regular antifreeze?
Im not sure on porsches, but in a GM vehicle the long lifetime coolant dex cool, when it starts to go bad the coolant decomposes and looks like a oil like substance. Not sure if its similar.
The "pistons" that lift the hood and trunk are called struts.
They are still pistons.
Randy, I was laughing when you bought the Porsche and said you don't know anything about them. All I could think of to say was wait for three weeks and you will be an expert. Did it take that long?
LOL You're right on point! I've learned a ton, and I really enjoy wrenching on this car.
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds When I was heavily involved with air cooled VW's years ago my go to guy for them was a German mechanic named Rudy. He always said the all German cars were made to be worked on. He claimed that was to give the men in the country something to do on the weekend.
My bet is Bob Moore did not flush the cooling system. Fingers crossed!
i got to get one of them oil pan catcher drums i never seen them for sale where i live great idea...laughed when it didnt fit under porsch low clearance ...also laughed when u said porsches ...i guess u will never be a german to pronounce it right even though your pronouncing it right
Dawn is more effective at cutting grease/oil instead of any clothes washing detergent.
Not according to Porsche TSBs. This is what the dealer uses for intermix.
Putting any dish washing soap in your cooling system to chase oil in the coolant will create a white-ish/grey goo that will require a system flush to get rid of.
Dawn cuts grease well but foams too much for this app.
At about 15.36 all those little black bits on your finger are likely the inside of your water hoses disintegrating. As the water hose are not resistant to oil they disintegrate from the inside out, I would recommend you also change all your rubber water hoses otherwise it will get to a point that it will block waterways, thermostat etc and very rapid engine overheating and failure will result.
good call
48 seconds old, still not first....lol
Fuck the haters Randy! Thanks for the how to vid, very informative
Pressure test coolant system and/ or perform a leak down test. Basic mechanics!!!!!!
And a wet/dry compression test
"Frunk?" Is that because the trunk is in the front?
Love the content! I'm putting my money on dealer who was mad they had to replace the engine and didn't flush the coolant. They did the least possible and shipped it out! Do a couple good flushes, find your leak, and I bet your good! Keeping my fingers crossed!
You're So Cute, Thinking that Danged Ole' Dealership Had Anything to do with this particular case......
Lmao
Stating Something So Circumstancial and Yet
Still the Comment Had My A*s Rolling!
Others Earlier Comments, left me Laughing so Hard.
I'm thinking... LMFAO
The Obvious Problem just struck me laughing!
Let's.... "" SHOUT IT OUT""
Richard Kafka dealerships are notorious for making mistakes, had the oil changed at a dealership....they forgot to ad oil to the crankcase
Hey Randy. Something this engine might have is a German design oil cooler, it is a piece that connects BETWEEN the ENGINE and OIL FILTER that runs engine coolant AND oil through! What happens is the coolant tube would Break inside this piece and then Oil Would mix with the Coolant but not the other way around... YET. Eventually if the part is not replaced then soon oil and coolant will be mixing in the engine! Catastrophic as you could imagine! I'm not 100% sure if this is the problem but as I worked on a few German cars (VW Mostly) before I'm hoping that this is your fix! Good luck!
Thank goodness you mentioned that. So far everyone is trying to be funny. My 2000 VW Beetle had the wrong coolant in it. Which caused the oil cooler to corrode inside and I started to get oil in my coolant. Once I replaced the oil cooler and flushed the coolant system it was fine.
Black people call it an AU IGHT'NEEGA LOL
I don't have a Porsche, and I don't have oil in my coolant. But hey, when I come across something I've never seen before, I'm interested. This was just interesting. The fact there was oil in the coolant (My first thought - someone had put the oil in the wrong place), and there was a solution to clean it out, made for good viewing. Thanks for sharing this entertainment. I enjoyed the video!
Thank you for watching!
i have seen that brown crap in brand new cars, coolant stop leak ??
I kinda thought someone poured oil into the wrong place. I have never seen oil that thick in the coolant before. Normally you get that milkshake look to it when it mixes in the coolant. Hope you find it and it's not to serious.
Get er Done! So many ads and soo much talkin. No results.
That....was freakin wild man. So cool. Great video bro. I hope I hope this works!
Somebody did not know where to pour the oil and poured it in the radiator.
Someone has definitely added oil to the cooling system. I’ve seen similarly stupid things.
I agree Brian
I'll see your oil in the coolant ..... and I'll raise you power steering fluid, OH YES I DID THAT ONE TIME .... NO I DID IT TWICE. I shit you not...
A pleasure to watch this video and thank you for letting me know that an used Porsche it's not a very good idea! 😄 Greetings from Europe 🇪🇺
Has to be residual. Coolant side is a higher pressure. If a crack or bad head gasket, it would have coolant in the oil. Flush with soap, then enjoy your new Porsche.
This car runs 50-60psi oil pressure, and coolant is less than 20psi.
Auto Auction Rebuilds true
But at the top of the head the oil pressure drops, not at the pump where it’s higher and measured. Consider watching oil flow lightly at rockers on a pushrod engine. Also where you have the possibility of the two mixing. At the head gasket mating surface. Bottom line. You should be fine flushing out. Chances are slim anything is wrong. You made a good guess.
Actually, it’s very common when the heads crack on the late 99-00 3.4 to not put a detectable amount of coolant in the oil, just oil leaked under pressure from the crack. It’s usually always a crack from spark plug tube to valve guide and it cracks near the oil passage for the tappets and into the coolant passage... i have fixed a few and had the heads fixed by Hamheads in Georgia. Easiest way to tell , is pull the cam cover, and the spark plug tubes, the cracks are almost always visible.. oil coolers do leak but 80% of the time it’s the heads, yours is a 99 but that replacement motor could be a 2000, which have the most failures... maybe the original motor blew up from IMS failure or D-chunk..
Huh, never realized it.. I say alternator the same way you do, now I cant unhear it and I'm going to question it every time I say it
I’m happy to see you working on the Porsche man can’t wait to see what the end result is
I RECENTLY have the same problem in my 350z - compression numbers good, no coolant in the oil, but oil in the coolant. My 350z also had an engine swap! Not sure why it was swapped, but who knows when the coolant was last flushed. So I flushed the coolant a week or two ago and I'm giving it some time to circulate before draining it and checking it again.
The only other thing it could be is the OEM cooler in the front of the car - Some people say it's power steering, but some say it's an oil cooler. I am replacing that with an aftermarket oil cooler and draining the coolant again after the first snowfall when I put my car away.
Great video... Keep up the good work!
Outstanding video Randy! I think your engine is ok. 1,000 miles old it's not the engine. A mistake, lack of flush or the oil cooler.
I'm considering Audi models that also require the AirLift to service, so I'm very interested in future Porsche videos. Keep them coming!
I love seeing you DIYing repairs most people will be afraid of attempting !!
never heard of that Detergent rad flush,
Porsche had the problem witj the 928 oil cooler blowing and filling the cooling system with oil and the TSB was to put shout in and running it to clean it out. It may take a few trys to clean it out
And run it
Randy if you have any oil going into the cooling system you must lose oil level inside the engine.
Most of your suspicious of what could have happened are correct but I would start with checking if you keep losing engine oil level .
Oil is currently full, so that is a good thing so far!
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds that is a good sign.
Also check spark plugs for coolant in oil. You will see proof of anti freeze obviously dripping off the spark plug itself, or will have other tell tell signs.
