Hi, I am from turkey. I am buying a 97 omega 2.5 V6 petrol 4sp auto(paper work not done yet). It is crashed before and didn't fixed properly, sits for almost two years. But I got it verrryyy cheap for my country standards. I have another high mpg diesel city car work like a clock. My long term plan with this car is turn it into a highway cruiser. But I have to fix it first.
So my question is when I put water to the coolant filler it leaks around driver side up high somewhere between engine and transmission. Leaks almost all water. I read something like this in this forum but it was small steady leak when engine runs. Mine is leaks everything when I put it. My first idea was faulty freeze plug or cracked hose. Dont sure for anything yet.
I put a new battery. Engine starts right off(no coolant) its smokes. I don't know the oil situation they lost dipstick and plugged with something. Car moves slowly so transmission fluid must be low. Runs for 2 minutes and I shut the engine myself. Put it on a tow truck, came home. I didn't do anything yet. I am waiting for paper work.
while I am waiting. Any ideas? Recomendations about the problem? How many freeze plug X25XE has? and where they are?
