LSA Coolant in Oil Pan
Hey guys I bought a pullout LSA from a 2015 wrecked ZL1, I pulled the oem oil pan to put on the Holley one and to my surprise there was some milkshake. I was told the engine has only couple thousand miles so I doubt there is a cracked head/block from overheating etc. plus the engine is completely stock no power adders. The only damage I have found is the oem exhaust manifold on the drivers side was slightly warped at the mating surface. Heads are not warped because my new manifolds have a tight fit. Also the bolts for the manifold were warped as well. I see no other damage. The engine turns freely. Most likely the car rolled several times. Would that cause coolant to spill into the oil pan?

Are you sure it was coolant and not just water from sitting in the junk yard?

How would water get into a sealed engine?
