i replaced my oilcooler lastweekend due to possible failure. i had oil contaminate my cooling system. after 3, 2 part flushes i put things back together and all looked fine and check out. today, when checking levels, i noticed oil again in the coolant. did I miss something...oilcooler seal, possible head issues???? im at a loss and any help would be appreciated.

If white smoke starts to come out of your pipes, then it is a sure sign. Get a compression and leak down test.

no smoke all appears to be running fine, but the oil in the coolant.

more than likely the old oil cooler failure...

If automatic transmission, possible leak in transmission oil cooler beside radiator.

AND CERTAINLY NOT VICE VERSA.

Worst. Urban legend. EVAR.

dudewheresmycar

well maybe possible, however it is motor oil. my oil level decreases.

Joey T

You changed both the cooler and the gasket?

dudewheresmycar

that is correct. seal and oilcooler. I will be replacing the seal again in the case that i maybe seated incorrectly.

dudewheresmycar

can you explain a little more on the transmission? has any1 ever heard of oil sludge being a possible cause???
