When it rains it pours. I had to dig a hole this afternoon and all that was available was the D6. I had it running a while ago and it was fine. We have had an ice storm and 12 inches of snow since.
Taday it started fine, then when I went to push it just seemed to lose power. when I dropped the blade and opened the throttle it just bogged down. I notices a lot of blue/white smoke Also a lot of smoke coming from the turbocharger housing. Much like an oil leak on the manifold. I also noticed the hose from the oil cooler on the left side of the engine was leaking and spitting out what looked like oil with water. When I checked the transmisison oil it looked like a water oil mix also. Then when I tried to start up to go back to the shop, it cranked about a half turn then the reset button on the dash popped out. I tried to restart 6 or 7 times with the same result. I had plenty of battery at the starter as it spun the starter motor fine. I could not short against the solenoid wire with what i had to test the solenoid. With a 40 mph North wind I just said to heck with it. I don't have oil in the radiator, so I really don't think it is the heat exchanger. Engine oil is fine. Is there a place that water can enter the transmission from snowmelt? I am pretty sure the rain cap was blown up when the ice storm hit and water went in to the turbo and froze.
