In the oil.
Ugg...
My civic has has a blown headgasket for a little while now, just eating coolant everyso often, but it never overheated. I flushed the whole system out with water, and had been running straight water ever since, just checking the level every coupla days. Unfortunatly i got lax, and the car overheated.
I haven't driven the car much, since, only to move it to a different parking spot but i checked the oil tonight, and now i have chocolate milk in my oil.
I know antifreeze mixed oil will destoy a motor in minutes, but how destructive i water in oil. Can i drive it 1/8 of a mile to my shop and fix it, or do i need to have it towed, or should i start looking for a new motor cuz the bottom end will be toast?
