Default Re: white steam from breather and water tailpipe

If the coolant doesnīt drain there must be a serious clogging in the pump or something...
At this point some kind of "block bandaid" aproach comes to mind...not much to loose if you have a crack..
Whatever you descide donīt run the engine with water in the oil for any extended period of time.
I would pull the pump where coolant donīt drain and check whatīs going on.
Then caustic cleaner in the block to get rid of oil...a lot of flushing...evaporust for whatever rust is left...a lot of flushing...block sealer !
Done right this wonīt hurt your internal engine parts and may save the block...if not itīs mostly your work involved and not to much money.
Fingers crossed you can save the block...
