[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 6741308, member: 2119"] Year 1978 ish. Loading up last load of beet today and noticed gauge a bit high and could see steam and smell antifreeze. The rad was more or less empty and it took about 6 litres to refill to finish loading. Closer inspection when finished revealed a lot of steam and water coming out the oil breather pipe. Sump oil level very high would indicate water going into sump. I normally check the water level "now and again" and it hasnt had a sudden loss for the last 40 years, so whether is got low due to neglect then over heated then lost all the water, or whether it lost all the water then overheated I can't be sure. Anyway, its another mess. Anybody know the failure point that lets the water into the sump on these engines? Head gasket, liner bottom end seals, porous liner, cracked block or head? What's most likely? Do they have wet or dry liners or no liners? Weigh it in or rebuild engine? It is well past its sell buy date but a handy maneouverable machine in tight spaces. I have a manitou MLT626 as well so I am not stuck, but the Manitou is no spring chicken either. [/QUOTE]
