engine oil in radiaotoroverflow bottle

[Brisat]

Please explain??

FanTapstic!

just presuming that it is a TD42, on the right hand side where the oil filters screw onto, that alloy housing hides the oil cooler. undo the bolts etc , remove the cover and you will find a miniature radiator, that is the oil cooler
Buggered up, should have had the two quotes on here, ah well !

sounds like a cracked head!

How is the engine oil going to get into the water ??

Stop driving it, first of all. And if you are not mechanically inclined, as it would sound, take it to a mechanic. Oil in your water is BAD. Either head gasket or cracked head or cracked block into water gallery, either way its going to be expensive. Unless, and this might be crazy, somebody put the oil in the radiator instead of the motor. I've seen some funny things in my time.

How would the oil get into the water, head gasket usually will let go between the cylinders or into the water gallery, oil cant get into water from a cracked head or a cracked block normally. If it was that bad it would have had to been farking hot so there would be lots more things to worry about
