F250 Powerstroke 6.0 Trying to replace the oil cooler, i made a mistake.
Hi guys. I am new to this site. Today i was trying to replace the oil cooler and i wanted to flush the coolant system. Stupid me , i flushed the system before i mounted the the oil cooler housing and about two or three gallons of water/ coolant went thorough the hole under the screen in the reservoir where the hole is for the HPOP. ( not the turbo drain valve or ipr screen)
Now my question is what should I do next? Do i have any coolant left where it is not supposed to be?
I drained the oil from the oil pan, and blew air with shop vac through the little hole, and through the oil drain valve for the turbo.
Any suggestions highly appreciated.
P/S : I used the picture as a referance to show the hole where i got the water through. Yellow circles where the water went in. The picture i used is not my truck.

Thanks a million. Not my truck. I used this picture as a reference.

I'm not an expert on this, but I think the bottom yellow circle is a coolant passage anyway. The upper yellow circle is where the HPOP gets its oil from; that reservoir near the screen is for the HPOP.
Did you take your HPOP out like the attached picture shows? The passage goes from the reservoir (under the screen) to the supply for the HPOP, where you can see a corner of a blue paper towel behind some black ones. I think that pic's from an earlier model, btw, it's a different HPOP discharge tube style.
Maybe I didn't give you all the answers you wanted, but maybe it'll help.

Vacuum don't blow air through passages unless you have something
that is not a shop vac. Dust can get past the filter and you don;t want
any grit in the system at all.
The yellow circle up front by the pulley is part of the front cover coolant
passages and that one is the one that gets the large donut like seal
between it and the intake.
Put the vacuum pn the port in the reservoir and turn it on as you are
removing the HPOP. If you feel safe doing it spray with brake cleaner
from the HPOP side while the vac is sucking stuff out. This should help
carry out any water/coolant. The risk is sparks from the shop vac and the
brake cleaner.
