Hello there,



We have a 1985 Bluebird Wanderlodge PT-40 with a Detroit Diesel 2-stoke 6V92
330hp.

We have oil and coolant leaking from the street-side slobber tube. The oil and
coolant are not mixed, as the mixture is not white like mayonnaise as yet. The
oil on the dipstick is normal.

We arrived here in Las Vegas to work for the month of May this past Sunday. I
noticed this leak yesterday morning. Ernie said it sounds like a bad head
gasket.

We welcome your thoughts and advice.

Thank you...

Take care,
Lisa

It could be sleeve seals also. Have it looked at now because you might lose
your engine if you dump the coolant while on the road. I did last September and
the coolant was coming from the slobber tubes, which is a drain for the air box.
It is telling you that coolant is not where it is supposed to be.
