Good day folks i need assistance. is there a way in a hmmwv M1152 6.5l turbo where coolant can go directly to the oil pan without having blown head gaskets? note: good compression on each cylinder, just redone cylinder heads, new gaskets, blots.

Started to fill the engine first with coolant then removed the oil pan bolt just to make sure it was clean to put oil in it, to discover the just added coolant dripping constantly. installed the oil pan bolt back, left the job there and next day 3 gallons of coolant of the 6 i filled got from the oil pan, not even turning the engine, i fill it and it goes straight to the oil pan.

I've had an internal "freeze plug" or core plug dislodged on a diesel motor at one point, same thing, coolant filled the crank case.

This one is a "cap" closing off a tunnel created during the manufacturing of the engine.

Not sure if the 6.5l has these...

Of course, could also be a cracked cylinder wall. Let's hoped not.
