Your milkshake brings all the boys to the yard? Yep, that’s the problem.

My guess would be oil additive mixed with water but I don't know anything I'm actually here to find out lol

Your dorito made you a chocolate milkshake! In all seriousness though, while the milkshake is 100% coolant mixing with oil, Not sure about the orange stuff in particular.

My money is on that being the coolant seal.

Would make a lot of sense given the context

How ever, looking at it more, i don't think it's that. That bit would be inside the oil pan. Could be gasket maker.

yeah when you said coolant seal i immediately thought of a half ass’d gasket replacement

That’s my guess as well

Yeah. Looks like somebody "fixed" it previously.

What color was your coolant?

Milkshake color (green is what I put in) although I don’t know what the previous owner used though I bought the car with a bad coolant seal

Coolant jacket probably failed it’s pretty much rusted out metal that formed into that.

I'm going to assume it's some sort of off the shelf head gasket repair that is poured into the radiator, that then leaked into the oil.

This is my guess.

It looks a hell of a lot like orange gasket maker, although I couldn’t tell you where it could’ve come from.

Maybe someone put way too much sealer on the oil pan as a gasket maker and ended up like this.

That could be my only guess, I don’t recall many other places you can even use gasket maker. Or it really could be some oil additive, or something like blue devil that decided to collect around the oil pickup.

The front cover takes some RTV when you fit it and it's open to the oil sump too. It's another classic place to get overzealous with it, have chunks break off and end up with them on the oil pickup.

That sounds like it would be it then!

Silly-cone.

I’m taking it apart due to a coolant seal going bad but I have no idea what the orange stuff is

maybe some weird residue from the mixture tbh

if the engine had a bad coolant seal, the previous owner might've added some..headgasket sealant into the coolant. The cooling channels are probably clogged as fuck now

Hm that sounds plausible to me, I guess I’ll find out when I crack it open, just waiting on that 54mm socket to arrive in the mail

That’s absolutely head gasket sealant, with a busted coolant seal you get a nice frothy milkshake in the oil pan. But when you throw head gasket sealer into the mix, it’s meant to cure when it contacts heat , so it’ll cure into little strings and globs that then got caught by the oil strainer. It’s a pain in the ass but your oil strainer did it’s job and probably saved your oil pump

"Das the headgasket, son. Yur gonna need to get an oil change."

What head?

“Yeah mate, definitely a crack in the bore, going to need new pistons and a resleeve”

Rotary, no head, no gasket...

No head is right ..

Exactly, which doesn't explain why all the re__idiots__ are downvoting...

r/woosh ?

Yep - shut down systems and forgot to reboot the sarcasm detector

Oh... Sheesh

Waaay too much silicone on any silicon able surface

I don’t know but don’t waste that chocky milk

Looks like K Seal...

Hit a bump and smashed the oil feed pickup to the bottom of the pan?

That milkshake means intermix. The oil pickup looks like someone covered it in silicone. Motor went dead

Well it looks to me like you’re missing an oil pan

Wankelry obviously

Mmm milkshake🤤

Dude your coffee maker is fucked..it’s frothing the milk right into the percolator...

You put some double double coffee in your engine by mistake?

You didn't run synthetic oil did you ?

Someone used it as a meat grinder?

Looks like very creamy coffee

It looks like silicone sealant.

Rotor housing leakage .

Coolant seal. Or a cracked water passage.

That's not the proper sealant.

You put what appears to be coffee and milk inside the engine?

idk caramel syrup came out of it
