RADO IS BLOWING UP! PLZ HELP!

[Roadhog]

it appears to be dripping on the header which makes for a nice plume of smoke.

And then a fire.

a fire???? you must be joking....how can i fix this?

No.. Oil + very hot surface = fire.

[DrewG60]

well yes i know that... thts why i am not driving it for extended periods of time.

[Roadhog]

driving it at all is asking for a fire...

i was thinking about getting some oil/engine dye for it an maybe have some more luck or so....

[Rennwagen1]

Or someone had finally had it with their corrado?

Also, the engine is remaining cold for some reason. Just another piece of info for the equation

is this what the gage is telling you or have you felt the engine it might be for this problem a bad sending unit gage is messed up or broke wire unless you have a fail safe termast in wich when they fail they fail in the open position as to not over heat the engine
good luck i wish i could help more but you are a ways away

it was the gauge...due to coolant leak... found and fixed. everything is now fixed except for oil leak. its very small as I am not losing a noticeable amount of oil however *from a novice's perspective* it appears to be dripping on the header which makes for a nice plume of smoke.

it is probly a vale cover gasket or cam seal is the head an they 8 valve g60 or have you put the 16 valve head on
