OIL in my cooling sistem

[j-jamrod]

i came from the track today and i notice that i have oil in my reservoir, but the engines look thats is runing fine no everheating and no coolant comsuption, i drain the antifrezze and put water on and still the same issue, i dont think is the HG?

I would do a compression test, and check your oil cooler by your filter(dont think it would be that tho). A poosible headgasket failure.

i have same problem, i have a goopy sludge in my overflow and all in my coolant. could be coming from the oil cooler (where your oil filter attaches to)

edit: dsmpat beat me to it

i will remove the oil cooler tomorrow and check,...

Im throwing this out there(someone correct me if im wrong). If your turbo is water and oil cooled you may get oil in coolant this way too.( IF im wrong let me know.)

While it is possible, it's unlikely that the cooling system (pressured to 16psi) would push coolant into the oil system (pressured to 60+ psi).

My turbo seals went bad and I had oil in my coolant also. I know the head gasket is fine with less then 5k on it.

compression is fine changed the turbo out with a 16g and new coolant I will see how it goes for me.

It's impossible for worn turbine or compressor shaft seals on the turbo to allow oil into your cooling system. There has to be some other issue.
