residue in coolant overflow
Hi All,
Anyone got oil residue in their coolant overflow tanks? When I pull the cap on the radiator, there is no sign of oil mixing. I cleaned the overflow tank and about a week later the residue appeared again. Does'nt seem like a blown head gasket. The car runs fine.
Cheers,

It is the cause, but I don't know why. Scared the **** out of me though. Now I am just pissed I put that **** into my car.
Here is my post from last week.

Guys I had water wetter in my car and now I have a blow head gasket.... Everyone spread the word!!! Tell all Evo oweners to STOP using water wetter on their Evo's this is too much of a pattern. I didn't see an oil residue but my engine began to leak anti freeze and now Mitsu is saying I have a blown head gasket....

I'm sick to my stomach, even though I got Mitsu to replace this gasket under warrant I'm sick over the fact that their techs may not know how to handle such a detailed and lengthy job... I'm so damn worried for my car right now... It's out of commision for at least a week. I'm going tomorrow to take a look at my car and get a feel for whether or not they can handle this task. I'm actually thinking about selling it at this point because I think when I get it back it'll never run the same.

I went to see if I could make a deal with the dealership to sell it back for an Endevor or something and they only wanna give me $22k and the buy out is $26k... I'm &ucked so bad right now... I wanna get rid of this car so bad now... I don't trust Mitsu to fix this head gasket at all
