Oil in the radiator but no water in the engine oil. The car not overheating.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com

Most often, a bad head gasket or intake gasket will allow oil to mix with the engine coolant. Take a look through this link. It discusses ways to check for a faulty head gasket.

Do this and let me know what you find.


Take care,
