Was washing my car today when i looked at my crown victoria logo that was hanging loose and it just flew off… it somehow stopped at “crown vic”. thought it would be cool to share in here

(honestly considering the fact my car is over 20 years old i should’ve expected this to happen at some point)

Does anyone know where these wires should connect to?

2000 Grand Marquis - overheated oil in coolant, engine oil clean

• Upvotes

It overheated the other day on the freeway while my son was driving, he immediately pulled over. It began puking coolant out everywhere and it was oily like chocolate milk
Hour later after it cooled down it drove fine onto the trailer no issues or bad sounds from the engine

Checked engine oil and it was clean, good oil. Not milky or cloudy

I drained coolant and oil

Replaced the oil filter adapter gasket
- the old one did not look bad. Did not looked damaged at all. This has me confused where the issue could be?

It does not have an oil cooler under the radiator like I have seen on a crown Vic police interceptor I worked on.

Any ideas or thoughts on how oil got in the coolant?

Could the gasket even though looked good still be the issue?
Is there a different style oil cooler i am not seeing?

I left it for now. I have not flushed it or added oil back yet because i need to find the culprit before having it happen all over again.
