 Topic: 7040 Oil in the Coolant
Posted: 18 Jun 2020 at 7:52pm |
|
Hello all. I ran into an issue with the 7040. I have oil pumping into the cooling system. I do not have any Coolant in the oil though. I am guessing that means a leaking oil cooler? And if so anybody got a line on finding one?

get it off and look, could be as Mack said, just bad O-rings mine was leaking coolant to the outside I don't know how to put a link but I done this a couple years ago, and posted some pictures...search my handle, in farm equipment,, it should show up, Its not a difficult project, the scariest/difficult is getting the oil cooler out of the housing,,, we used to have a truck shop that had a tool for testing the cooler cores...

You guys are right, pulled the housing off and one of orings fell out in pieces. Now another question, how did you get the cooler out of the housing? I really don't want to damage it! While I am here I want to replace all 4 orings.

I have a round block of wood shaped to press the core out of the housing once it's off the engine.

The water pump ceramic seals were prone to lodge in the cores, vibrate and erode a hole in a tube, The cooler has 'weep' holes that should (not always) prevent the water or oil from mixing - IF they were dry I would suspect a hole in the copper core. Have it tested. If a core is leaking it can be soldered up at each end w/o any lack of cooling. We built a tester with 2 flat plates - one tapped for an air chuck - and 4 bolts on the outside clamping then ends as in a tie bolt hyd cyl - a thick rubber will seal each end between the metal and core. Add air and dunk under water to look for bubbles as a poor mans tester. Get the correct gasket and watch orientation of cooler and oring location.

oil and coolant rings are different material not interchangeable....seems like mine were both black and kept track of pt#'s on bag for location? I could be wrong but be on the look out.

I know that "coolant" in the crankcase is BAD, but what damage does oil do to the coolant system ??

Well it comes out the overflow line. And runs warm. Also makes a mess in the radiator, The cap looks horrible. Also First attempt failed. Now leaks externally. Will have to try again.

Sadly, I never gave a thought to the "overflow"  . Sorry to hear about the "failed fix". How hard is the removal of the cooler? Please keep us posted.
