Hay I have a problem with my car losing all the coolant from the radiator into the oil. 4 of 5 the sites I've had a look at say thats a cracked head but I'm really hoping for a different and cheaper answer. Can you lose coolant onto the oil with a blown gasket?

Hi there, Yes you can have this happen, but you must... have the head checked for cracks , bend and warp & get it re machined before re fitting, there is no guarantee that the head is not damaged in some way.
