I got a small coolant leak into the crankcase from the base gasket, like just enough for the oil in the bottom of the crankcase to turn slightly milky, how worried should I be that the coolant damaged the crank bearings, or is there a way to check the bearings without splitting the cases? The motor has 3600km on it right now, 2400km of that being turboed, is there a time/km the crank should be done at anyway?
