coolant came out of the by pass valve

[tyang82]

Can that be signs of a blown head gasket? I took off the accordion hose along with the by pass valve and saw some coolant dripping out of the top part of the by pass valve.

Not sure if its possible for coolant to leak from the Turbo to accordian hose, but that sounds like what's happening to me

That does sound weird but it its true. I was changing hoses and came across this problem. Now I'm starting to worry.

Well it is a coolant cooled Turbo so I suppose a crack could form to the Turbo inlet. Theoretically.

You'd prolly lose a lot of coolant and oil if the coolant part of the turbo cracked.


I'd pressure test the cooling system and see where it leaks or if it even holds pressure.

Can also do a compression test and block test to rule out bhg.

My guess would be the factory BoV type thing

LOL @ coolant coming out of it that's a new one :aigo:

Stick a fork in it she's "done" :runaway:

If you think you have a bhg, just check the color of your oil, that or look for air bubbles in your radiator
