car still runs fine, how long before it doesn't?My car has been overheating and burning oil, now i have some water getting into oil, can i use stop leak?
AF in the oil indicates either a blown head gasket or a cracked block. Oil consumption could be attributed to many things from worn out valve stem seals to a worn out engine.





Now would be the time to look for a new car or at least a rebuilt engine.My car has been overheating and burning oil, now i have some water getting into oil, can i use stop leak?
Nope. Stop leak is too late. Sounds like a new head gasket is in order. Stop driving that car or you'll be rebuilding that engine real soon.
It sounds like you have a bad head gasket (far more likely than a cracked block as someone else suggested) causing the coolant and oil to mix. The oil consumption is probably due to worn piston rings, though it is sometimes caused by valve guides. The burning of the oil and coolant is destroying your emissions systems. Mainly the Catalytic converter and Oxygen sensors. Those parts can easily add up to a great deal of money. In any direction, your engine needs a complete overhaul.





I would not recommend that you use stop leak. It may band-aid some of the problems, but it will end up making your repair bill much larger when the tech has to replace all the components that end up being clogged by stop leak.





You need to get that vehicle repaired soon, before any more damage occurs.
if water in oil you are looking at major$$$$$$$
Personally I would never use Stop Leak. Its a cheap fix and in the long run hurts your car more than helps it. If you keep burning oil eventually you're going to burn up the engine and you'll have buy a new one. Not over haul it, buy a brand spanking new crate motor. So figure out why its burning oil and then stop that first. The water getting in sounds like it may be a blown head gasket. If this is the case I'd go ahead and replace all the gaskets while you have the chance.
