... in my '97 Plymouth Neon Highline, AT, 2.0L 4 cyl. I immediately thought "bad head gasket" and have had a couple of other people suggest that. But my oldest son says that would cause the *opposite* (i.e. water in the oil). He says it could be a bad water pump seal. What do you guys think?
Forgive my posting this to the truck NG. But this is a busier NG than alt.autos.dodge - and I've gotten some valuable input here before (regarding a Dakota).
TIA,
Karl
Trans cooler would be my guess. Easy to check. Grab some of the mix and put a couple drops on a clean sheet of paper. What color is it?
Amber-Black = engine oil Pink-Red = trans fluid
Black and amber it is. Guess I'm looking at a bad head gasket after all. Thanks,
Karl
Don't jump to conclusions. Pressure test cooling system, check for combustion residue in coolant.
