Squirrel may have destroyed my 2.7 not by chewing

[Rush4th]

After finishing a game of golf I turned on the bronco via app and came out to it with a million lights on and it at 270 degrees. Turned it off and noticed the serpentine belt was loose, but still intact.

After getting some of the air hoses outta the way, I found a pretty torn up squirrel chilling on my skid plate. Dunno if I’m allowed to post any of the pics, but it was bad..

After cleaning out the squirrel and putting the belt back on, it’s drinking coolant like it’s trying to get drunk and the oil still looks clean and not overfilled, but no puddles.

How long does it take for the oil to turn into chocolate milk if it is screwed, or where else would it be going?

It’s at ford rn, but I waiting for a response is driving me nuts. Should I start shopping for a new one?

Post em, I want to see the carnage

The oil would turn into a milkshake pretty damn fast if there was as much coolant intrusion as you make it seem.

It only takes a drive around the block for oil to turn to foam if there's coolant in it. It happens quite quickly, but your engine won't be toast if you don't drive it much more than that. I think your coolant is going somewhere else.

Thanks for putting my mind to ease about coolant in the oil. Hopefully then can figure out where it’s going and fix it soon. Enterprise gave me a Sentra.. I don’t know how somebody can live like this.

Pressure testing the cooling system will show thr location of the leak.
