How to tell the difference between a oil cooler failure and a blown head gasket.

[@tamerabdelaziz8280]

Hi Thank you for creating content to help. in my case, i sent my car (dodge se 2012) because i've had highly viscous oil in coolant system. not sure it is the head gasket or the oil cooler because car wasnt overheating in the beginning. today mechanic said we will start with replacing the oil cooker, flushing the system, and coolant refill and see how it works. if still oil is there, he will proceed with head gasket replacement. for me, what he is trying to do is more of try and error thing, he should first pressure test the cooler, isnt it?

in my case, the oil is inside the cooler reservoir. I have flushed the radiator 3x, but still there is engine oil in the water cooler. But, no water mix with oil engine. The oil engine is clean. It is a recent bought car, and the last owner said he changed the engine block gasket. But I think can be other thing happen . Oil keep going into the water... what I have to do? The car has running 1000 miles with no problem , engine with normal temp, oil pressure ok, water temp ok too

Yeah check your engine oil cooler.

my issue is coolant draining rapidly at times from the overflo tank. theres no sign of coolant on the ground but i've noticed that coolant is present in the oil. the cars exhaust has a strong smell of like coolant and unburned gas. i did have the head gaskets replaced and the problem still exists. the oil fill cap has a milky film and dipstick is very watery and at a much higher level. after seeing this video im convinced its the oil cooler gasket

[@L.U.X.X]

Hello thank you for reaching out! I would do a compression test on all the cylinders. I'd also recommend taking a look at your engines oil cooler.. if the oil cooler fails which is very unlikely then it will presume to mix oil and coolent together on the bottom end, causing a no leak issue to when you have no idea where it's going.

I have ford focus starts first time everytime no coolant leaks but oil is in coolant but theres no smoke from engine and it drives fine do you think its a oil cooler issue also i have check for sign of blown headgasket but theres no symptoms but i am worried as there is oil in coolant please help.

[@L.U.X.X]

Absolutely I would definitely start from there, I would also check the compression in each cylinder as well

Hi , i can’t get what was your problem solution ?

[@L.U.X.X]

I was the engine oil cooler. There is a internal seal on the inside that will ware out over time and cause your oil and coolent to mix. Now with that said the timing on my car had went also. Watch the videos above this and you'll know everything about what happened.

My situation contains a milky brown liquid in the coolant tank and a dead car altogether any help?

Drain your oil and check for metal.

i’ve got a c4 grand Picasso 1.6 hdi 2009 i’ve noticed the water bottle has oil in and it’s very thick, do you know what this could be?

[@L.U.X.X]

Oil cooler I bet if you remove it and oil comes out instead of coolant then that’s your issue

[@wildfruits477]

@@L.U.X.X what so if i remove the oil cooler and oil comes out instead of coolant then that’s my issue?

[@wildfruits477]

@@L.U.X.X just thought shouldn’t oil come out instead of coolant anyway? Oil cooler….🤷🏻 oil?
