Im sick! oil in my coolant on jspec swap

I finally got my new TII up and running well and I go to change the coolant and it is well mixed with oil to a watery oil mix. doesnt seem to have any water in the oil though. Could this be a line I misconnected? Not the oil cooler lines, what could it be??

Thanks,
Chris

Is it just a residue stuck on the plastic tube or actual oil droplets in the coolant?

Hey chris, I checked around a bit and this is what you should do. Check you compression, pressure check the coolant system, and double check all your coolant and oil lines. You have the oil injectors in the lower manifold hooked up right? Does smoke come out the exhaust? If so, what color? Knowing that will help a lot. Also, I don't know if coolant lines run to the turbo (All my RX7s have been N/As), or if its just oil lines, but check them too. I posted a pic from the FSM of the oil path in the turbo II. I can't remember if you told me whether or not you have a FSM. If not let me know and I can tell you where you can download one from for free.
