I had a Volvo 122 wagon back in the 80's that somehow sucked brake fluid through the vacuum booster and into the intake, burning blue.

My truck was blowing coolant into the over flow when my HG was blow on cyl #3 and the crack went to the exhaust side. The exhaust over pressured the coolant system sending it out the overflow....Hope that never comes back, I gave my head the works while it was out...
