I have just purchased this with a coolant leak, I have pressure tested coolant and seems fine, Took it out on the lake today and it ran fine for 5min. Then returned to the shore and checked the coolant. Coolant was all around the expantion tank, I topped it back up a tried again it seemed fine going slow until I opened it up 80km for 15sec before the temp up and oil light came on, and it went into limp mode. Again, I went back to the shore and water was bubbling out of expantion tank. I topped it up and since then the oil light comes on, but only when you rev to 2000 or more, it idles fine. A couple of times I turned it off and on and it worked fine again and then took for a medium speed run and coolant and oil was fine.
I am wondering if the oil light is on due to temp of oil because water temp went up (low water) and oil cooler could not cool or is this a completely seperate issue to coolant leak?
I am thinking of replacing thermostat as maybe its stuck and causing coolant over pressure and leak out of expantion tank?
Would I be on the right track?, any help appreciated. Cheers
