Both oil and water matter. But I would have thought the oil temp would have spiked once the oil became the only place for the engine to dump heat into.

Maybe he didn't have an oil temp sensor?

 

Yeah that makes sense once I thought about it Mike. Hadn't factored in the "air is a crappy temperature conductor" bit.

 

I did not have a oil pressure or temp sensor.
I will before I run again.

 

I don't either. Now that the car is essentially track-only (even though I'm not racing it and the engine is completely stock), it seems like I should get around to doing that too.

 

James let me know if I can assist you with anything. I head back to SoCal tomorrow AM.

 

Sorry to hear crashtest No one noticed 2 gallons of fluid coming out of your car?

 

yeah sucks for james. Remember too after qual you were gushing water. I knew it wasn't just a hose clamp

 

Sucks dude, sorry to hear

 

I just found where the water was coming from.
there is a coolant pipe on block where the lower hose connects to and then a pipe coming off that for I think the heater hose.
I had a rubber plug on there with a hose clamp and the plug split where the clamp is.

Shitty part is the day before like ry said I was leaking from a rubber plug.
I went around and tightened all of them thinking it was a good idea.
I guess I had tightened that one too much and it cut it.

lame is the bottom line

and tinkfist the answer is no. I even pulled off and asked the fire guys at turn 7 if I was leaking and they said no.

 

yeah you weren't leaking you were empty

did you get the head off the motor tonight?
