i just purchased a 2003 dodge caravan, it drives very well but my only problem is that i had oil in the coolent (radiator). I had the radiator replaced and its not leaking yet... i was told that the radiator had a hole we're the oil is entering. My question is how do i know if it wasn't my head gasket that was blown... what are the signs? Van runs fine been waiting for it to leak out but no signs yet...

Maybe it's fine. THe only hole in a radiator that would let oil in is in the transmission cooler, which is inside the radiator. Is there a chance the oil was transmission fluid?
