Message I have access to some instruments at work that can detect trace organics and metals scans for water samples. And I'm thinking after about 10,000km to take a sample of my coolant and testing it for whats in it.

What kind of chemical compounds should I expect in the coolant if there were any problems with the car. IE blown head gasket... oil mixed in? Since I have access to it I thought it might make a neat diagnostic tool to detect problems with the car. I know there is gonna be propylene glycol from the coolant itself haha...

Since instrument detection limit is very low it might find traces of things pointing to problems i suspect even if it did not have a blown head gasket so im gonna try to get a known new car sample and kind of blank the results with it... i dunno what do you think?
