jmurray01 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 HGF, it is the only reason for oil getting into the cooling system that I can think off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james_60 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Hi Dont Guess a headgasket failure as it could cost you a new engine "could" Get it Diagnosed and then you know where you stand. Currently in my own opinion all crosshairs are pointing at headgasket. Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
