oil in the water
I recently replace the head gasket, 1500 miles ago, during a valve replacement, now I have oil in the water. No water in the oil. Starts and runs fine. 190,000 miles on vehicle. Could this be a breach in the radiator? Original radiator. I will do a compression test. Back when I replaced the head gasket, should I have re-tightened the head bolts. I tightened them as outline in the head kit. Years 25 ago when working on diesel tractors, we re-torqued the head bolts after several hour of operation.

No need to retorque these head bolts.
What year is it? The cooler in the radiator (if a 98) might have gone bad. Or the cooler on the back of the oil pan(99 and newer) might be bad. Or it could also be the transmission cooler. |

Then you should have the oil cooler on the back of the oil pan.
Does it look like strawberry milk or more like milk in the coolant bottle? |
It is engine oil. It is chocolate in color. Oil level has dropped off the dipstick. I will check the oil cooler. Is that a common problem. How do I check for a breach inside the oil cooler.
|
Best way to check would be to remove it and pressure test it.
|
Pressure tested and air moves from the oil side to the water side. Needs replaced. What is the best way to get all the oil out of the coolant system? I flushed it several times. Is there any dissolving agent to add, then flush?
