Thank you Mike, I mean it's great that people want to soften the blow, but you need to do the head gaskets. The problem is discovered, you need to make a solution to this problem.

 

Put in Barr's leaks in the meantime. It may help. The fellow who mentioned it on this thread was insightful and correct.
May stall the problem so you can move the truck around a bit.
But, you need to do head gaskets now and right away.

 

Time For a engine reseal just had mine done last month .
U can look him up at westendroverandjag.com to c what a engine reseal is and cost .

 

One important point - many stop leak products contain sodium silicate, or "water glass". That product was used in the "Cash for Clunkers" program by dealers to "kill" the engine of old cars traded in. Put putting a large quantity of it in the oil froze up bearing surfaces, siezed block, etc. If you have coolant in the oil, the coolant and the "water glass" are not going to do the oil lubricated surfaces any favors.

 

Someone please help!!! My Landrover Freelancer 2004 model, V6 automatic cut timing belt while I was on the road at 90-100km/h. I towed it to auto workshop and the senior mechanic opened it and confirmed belt cut. He advised I need to change valve, valve oil seal and top gaskets. All that was changed but the first gaskets he used(fibre) got burnt on steaming the car. He requested for iron gaskets and after coupling the engine the sound don't seem the same. I tested the car on the road like less than 6km just to discover the coolant reserve bottle bleeding out oil and water mixture. I managed and took it back to the mechanic. He advised for radiator washing and that was done. Yet the oil mixes with the water and the car overheats quickly. I don't trust this mechanic again. Please what could be that cause oil mixing in coolant? Please help. Thanks a lot in anticipation of your replies.

 

NASA we have a problem! My advice to you is find a garage or mechanic who really knows about Freelanders. Oil in the water spells head gasket problems and also he may have got the timing wrong.

DON'T DRIVE YOUR FREELANDER AS YOU ARE DOING MORE DAMAGE.

IMHO it will require at minimum a compression test and a view into the spark plug holes with a borescope to establish the extent of the problems.

 

I don’t think the two are related. It takes a lot of drips to drip the dipstick low enough to notice. Pour a tablespoon of water on the counter and you
You’ll see what I mean. Losing coolant could be a lot of thing before I would tear down to the head gaskets. After running and then again when cool, search the entire engine with a good light for wet leaks.
