Bad head gasket, It was overheated last summer when the radiator sprung a leak. The oil was so far contaminated it looked like sludge and death. Honestly i didn't even look i imagine not as the average person wouldn't but one of these alot of towns and school districts do though. To replace this machine it was 24K and they didn't offer a turbo diesel option anymore.

Cool little engine!
Just a little more work but it was fun work.
