I have water leaking into the oil system of my 1980 volvo 240, DL. I kno a blown head gasket is one possibility for this and im wondering what other possible locations for a leak are. and any tips on what to do to go about fixing this.

 

I've always been told that water in oil = blown head gasket. I don't know about Volvos, but I can't think of any other realistic and common way for this to happen (other than dumping a jug of H2O into your oil cap).

Edit: Nevermind... I just realized this post is 5 months old. I hope you got your stuff fixed!

 

Possibilities... are worst than a headgasket. Cracked block or cracked head will also cause that.

 

I'd say head warpage over the head or block cracking... that takes some serious stress.

 

Once they are run hot they really F*** up.They crack alot between valves.Doesn't leak coolant from there but just letting people know.
