Hello all,
I just bought a pristine 85 with the 2.8l auto tranny with 92,000 original miles. The truck had been sitting for 5-6 years. All that “was” wrong that I could find was an oil leak. We have been chasing it for a couple weeks and this weekend the water started going down in the cooling system. It is internal. My question is could the oil leak and the water loss be related i.e. intake gasket or am I looking at something more serious. I have good power and compression even after the water started dropping. No visible water in the oil but maybe some oil in the cooling system! Any help or thoughts greatly appreciated!!!
