you mean it sinks to the bottom because it's heavier (denser)?

by now, it will probably have separated, but check anyway. right after it happened, the crank would have working it all into a froth, kinda like a vinaigrette salad dressing.

Yeah, I forgot that if it is lighter, it won't sink very well hehe

I checked a few hours after, no hint of foam. I'm just waiting for estimates from several places (have to call around tomorrow too) and then have it towed there, hopefully tomorrow so it can start being worked on. How long do HG jobs take?

Same thing happened to our old Volvo. Thick white smoke = leaking coolant. That happened for a couple of days and then went away. Hurray!! But of course without coolant, the next time we drove it the engine overheated massively...

Is there any other place coolant can leak from internally? Just looking at it, theres nothing out of place or leaking...
