RANGE ROVER L322 HELP NEEDED PLEASE(WATER IN SUMP)

[monkeyman222]

HI GUYS, MY RANGE ROVER 2002 YEAR IS LOSING ITS WATER AS SOON AS I PUT IT INTO THE HEADER TANK AND I CAN HEAR IT GOING INTO THE SUMP.... PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME... LOL

[GKP]

Into the sump?! Are you sure?

[Psimpson7]

Is the oil level rising in the sump?

If you can hear it going in something is very wrong. Terminally cracked cylinder head, or failed core plug possibly, terminally failed head gasket maybe also.

Is it a V8 or diesel?

[monkeyman222]

Sounds like your motor is terminal.

I'm struggling to take this thread seriosly - troll maybe?
This is quite an unusual failure for a BMW engine.So with the sump plug left out and drained of water/oil - and you filling the HEADER/EXPANSION tank up, you see water comming out the bottom of the sump. You are putting the water in the correct place?

I've had this happen in a '89 Skoda when a core plug failed. I was filling it with a hose and suddenly water pissed out of the dipstick

It's FUBARed

Taking the heads off will tell you nothing

if water is coming straight out when you put it in there is a serious hole somewhere between the water jacket and the crank case.
suggest taking the sump off and lay underneath with a torch while friend puts water in. you may be able to see where it is comming from while getting an eye-full of oily water
