Changed an engine out of a Ford escape and put in a 99 Mazda protégé engine. There is now coolant in the throttle body but no water in oil. Can you PLEASE help?

Was there any issues with the escape motor?

What did you change over for the swap?

It sounds like the throttle body. There should be 2 coolant lines at the throttle body

The throttle body is where the air filter hose inlet to the motor connects.

The throttle body has failed internally and is leaking.

Change it from the old motor.
