I am loosing coolant . it is getting in the oil slightly. the oil level never rises. there are no bubbles in the radiator which would sugest a crack in the head or block or head gasket leak. there are no leaks and the engine never misses when it is first started
temperature runs normal until water is low i have pressure checked the cooling system and no excess pressure exists. do you have any ideas i might try?

Hi:

If you are getting a slight amount of coolant in the oil, you most likely have a headgasket problem.

If you have any other questions, let me know.
