Oil leaking out of my antifreeze reserve

[Casemantsi]

The first thing everybody is goin to say is Headgasket. Yes it is a huge possibility, But what about the oil cooler? Does anybody know of it leaking or mixing the two?

My car did the same thing about 4 months ago and i just changed the head gasket everything went ok for a while ( i guess? ) now this?

What else is there? Any help would be great!

Thanks


btw: i now own 2 dsms with ####ed up motors

I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you saying that there is oil in your coolant?

If so, it could still be the head gasket. Did you have the head (and block, though less likely) checked for cracks or warping when you did the head gasket? Have you overheated the car since you replaced the head gasket?

Yes, it is possible for the oil cooler to fail and mix oil into the coolant (and vice versa): http://vfaq.com/mods/oilcool.html

You must now debug what's going on with your car. Have you done compression and/or leak-down tests?

-Could be your OEM oil/water cooler, I have since switch to an air-cool oil cooler, replace the OEM cooler with an adapter made by Perma-Cool from them , the stubby oil filter bolt I got from Road///Race, cooler came off a Nissan Z, total cost ~$50 including some areoquip fittings.
