Bunch of coolant in my oil. New HG is going on this week.
But I was curious to see if I needed to do anything to the engine due to coolant in the oil and if that would effect the engine after a new gasket and oil change. It did run a little too with the coolant.

ALSO the oil plug is.. Weird... its a 14mm allen wrench?! WHAT
Anywho.. I have and idea of getting it off with a 14mm bolt, with 14mm nuts, and some jb weld but if that doesnt work im lost...!!!

Not the correct drain plug, but get a proper 14mm Allen socket. After you get it out, replace with one of these:

The O2 sensor is probably failed. I wouldn't worry about that now, but at some point, after you get the car running reliably, you will probably want to replace it so the Lambda system functions correctly.

I got you. And the O2 sensor? How would that make it fail just out of curiosity

The plug did seam A bit weird but if im able to get it out, why shouldn't I keep using it?

I think I have a brand new O2 sensor in the box, if you need one. Cheap.

Ok sensors don't like vaporized coolant and gasket material.
