I have oil in my coolant. A lot of oil. I just replaced the HG on my car with a Cometic gasket. I drained my oil and there is no coolant in the oil. My question is how common is it that the oil cooler cracks/gets crushed? Could that be my problem? I took off the oil filter and the hollow shaft was not tight at all.
 
Hey whats up man... jus had the same problem with my 2G... ALOT of oil was sucked into my coolant... it is the a bad oil cooler.. thats would explain oil in the coolant but if it were the Head gasket i believe they would be coolant in the oil... but the cooler going bad would cause that.. i would try to find one on here for sale cause they are 460 from the dealer OMG
