Ive got an oil water emulsion, in the cooling circuit, together with loss of engine oil, the oil pressure warning light comes on after about 20-30 minutes drive.
Theres no bubbles in the expansion tank, when engine is running, and no misfiring, engine seems to run fine (so not head gasket?), ive changed the oil cooler, as the other place oil could leak into cooling circuit, but has not solved problem. how can i be sure where the oil is leaking into the cooling circuit?
