    Hi
    Thank you for creating content to help.
    in my case, i sent my car (dodge se 2012) because i've had highly viscous oil in coolant system.
    not sure it is the head gasket or the oil cooler because car wasnt overheating in the beginning.
    today mechanic said we will start with replacing the oil cooker, flushing the system, and coolant refill and see how it works.
    if still oil is there, he will proceed with head gasket replacement.
    for me, what he is trying to do is more of try and error thing, he should first pressure test the cooler, isnt it?

    my issue is coolant draining rapidly at times from the overflo tank. theres no sign of coolant on the ground but i've noticed that coolant is present in the oil. the cars exhaust has a strong smell of like coolant and unburned gas. i did have the head gaskets replaced and the problem still exists. the oil fill cap has a milky film and dipstick is very watery and at a much higher level. after seeing this video im convinced its the oil cooler gasket

      Hello thank you for reaching out!
      I would do a compression test on all the cylinders.
      I'd also recommend taking a look at your engines oil cooler.. if the oil cooler fails which is very unlikely then it will presume to mix oil and coolent together on the bottom end, causing a no leak issue to when you have no idea where it's going.

    in my case, the oil is inside the cooler reservoir. I have flushed the radiator 3x, but still there is engine oil in the water cooler. But, no water mix with oil engine. The oil engine is clean. It is a recent bought car, and the last owner said he changed the engine block gasket. But I think can be other thing happen . Oil keep going into the water... what I have to do? The car has running 1000 miles with no problem , engine with normal temp, oil pressure ok, water temp ok too

      I was the engine oil cooler. There is a internal seal on the inside that will ware out over time and cause your oil and coolent to mix. Now with that said the timing on my car had went also. Watch the videos above this and you'll know everything about what happened.
