[QUOTE="Blueline, post: 12847706, member: 116461"] /\ sounds advice above, just to add to it. You prob. did hydrolock the engine when it flooded the cylinders with coolant. Pull your plugs and look into the cylinders, I bet you will see coolant in there. Do not start the car anymore. Try to fab up something with your shop vac to suck anything out of the cylinders through the plug holes. Drain the oil / filter completely. Pull the blower and inspect the intercooler for cracks. You may not see an obvious rupture / crack, but you can have it pressure tested and fixed, hopefully. Let the cylinders air out and add some oil into the cylinders and try to rotate the motor by hand to get the walls nice and lubed while you sort out the leak. Buy some cheap oil, synthetic 5w20 or 30 and make frequent oil changes. good luck and hopefully this is just an intercooler leak with some minor cleanup. [/QUOTE]
