I recon probably the transmission cooler in the radiator!

JOKING HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Classic

1.) Turbo( unlikely)

2.) Head gasket (unlikely)

Gotta be one of the 2

get a pressure test done on the cooling system and go from there :)

Mate, I had the same problem mines a BA typhoon T56

Took it to 2 dealer's (under warranty still)

they pressure tested the system with no luck

changed the head gasket with no luck

pulled the motor out & re-surfaced the deck's with no luck

pulled out the oil cooler(at the last dealership FTG) when it was tested it showed up with a hair line crack only when it was hot.

the oil cooler sits in between the block & the oil filter & is plumbed with coolant via 2 hoses.
