So, I recently got the results back from my latest Used Oil Analysis (UOA), and they found what looks to be antifreeze in the oil. Here is the report:



I would initially suspect the head gasket, is there anything else I should be looking for on this motor?

Is this a common issue?

I hope it isn't too expensive.

Hope you stopped driving/running engine. Coolant is very hard on bearings.

Hmmm...the lab's comments said to check back in 4,000 miles, like it may be premature to make any diagnosis. But, I really don't want to take it to the dealer

There's also an Oil cooler under the Turbo
you can blow gaskets there and leak antifreeze in
(but it's not real common - mine did and I think one other)

Thanks for that bit of info about the oil cooler. Should something like that be detectable by a cooing system pressure test? I think that might be the next thing I need to do, unless there is a better way to track this down. On my Benz ('91 350 SDL) I suspected a coolant leak into the engine but it wasn't detectable until I had coolant flavored steam coming from the exhaust.

Or, since it is such a lovely day today, maybe I'll wash it. I can't remember if I usually wash it in even years or odd.

Thanks, Ridenby, I needed that.

I also got my L27 safety recall (rear lower control arms) in the mail, so I will take it in for both at the same time. My appointment is for Monday. Unfortunately, the accessory belt on my other car decided to start peeling apart today so I don't know how I will be getting to work next week.

Well, I got the Jeep back today. They changed the lower control arms, but they could not find any evidence of any coolant leak. The report read:



I have another oil sample that I sent in last Friday, those results should be back any day now.
