I recently bought a 1986 ttype and have been slowly fixing it up. The other day, i took for a very short drive to test. I heard a pop but didnt think much of it. I come home and pop the hood, the upper radiator hose has blown open near the water outlet, I have no idea how that even happened. I am sure it emptied almost all the water, about 2 gallons or so. Today i put on a new hose, filled up with water as i was in process of flushing cooling system, so i only had water in radiator and engine. The car was struggling to start, after the 4th or 5th time it finally started. A bunch of water is coming out the exhaust, water is leaking down from the turbo. I checked the oil and it is milky. I am pretty sure i didnt overheat the car, no service light came on as i made it back home and drove perfectly fine. Any help would be appreciated. I am hoping nothing major happened. It was running perfectly fine before the radiator hose incident happened. Tomorrow i plan to change out oil again. Anything i should check for? Is there an area that couldve sucked up all the water that blew from the radiator hose? I tried searching forums and havent read one incident of water in turbo or coming out exhaust. I also wanted to note, as i was refilling with water, it seems to be all sucked up and going somewhere. It was all perfectly fine before the radiator hose blew.
Some things ive changed since owning car:
Water pump, alternator, radiator, injectors, and the usual tuneup stuff. Clean throttle body, new air filter, transmission fluid change, oil change, was in process of flushing cooling system.
