Coolant change gone wrong
#3
Problem time. Sad

I assume you didn't drain the coolant by any other means.  Is so, your old coolant is now in your sump.  This is because the coolant pipe you disturbed passes through the sump to connect with the combined oil/water pump.  The pipe is sealed at each end by O-rings.  Or, in the case of yours now, not sealed.  Ooops.

I think you'll need to remove the exhaust and the sump (after draining the oil Wink) to make sure that you get all the coolant out of the oil and also to ensure that you get the coolant pipe O-rings correctly refitted to the pump.  Sorry but you've got a bit of a longer job on than you expected.

Check out this thread which shows the procedure to replace the oil/water pump.  It's worth reading the whole thread but post #88 onwards is particularly good for you because it talks about the coolant pipe and has lots of great photos:

Good luck!
