So the 28th of June My wife came home from work in the 06 Range Rover HSE, and the thing was STEAMING from under the hood! I too a look under the hood and there was coolant everywhere, the cap on the Radiator heater hose bleeder valve (? for lack of better knowledge of what it is) was completely blown off
She said she ran it overheating for roughly 15-20 miles... she said the needle never went into the "red zone" but it was close to it for that long...
I removed the oil cap looking for milky cooler... and nothing except the faint smell of gasoline, I touched the oil on the cap and it seemed very thin. color looked good. When she pulled in, the engine didn't sound bad either.. Today I went out to check the oil and it was, I would say, about a quarter of an inch+ above the full line on the dipstick. Again very thin, good color, no milkyness, with a fainter smell of fuel than before.
Tomorrow I plan on changing the hose and the oil, No smoke in exhaust either... What do you guys think is going on? PLEASE don't tell me Head Gasket!
