FPV6T UNDERCOAT CRUISER!!! Donating Members 1,655 Member For: 15y 9m 24d Gender: Male Location: brisbane Posted 29/07/09 06:43 AM Share Posted 29/07/09 06:43 AM hi guys,I checked my oil today to find it a bit low so I topped it up to the full mark on dipstick,then I checked my coolant only to discover it is full of oil!!now the car starts and runs fine no overheating or lights on dash oil pressure is good, nothing to hint that there was something wrong.I have no water mixed with oil in the engine just oil in my coolant tank.as I have just gathered all my goodies for the next round of mods the missus is going to have my "old fella" on the chopping block if this is going to cost a lot to fix!!any help on this will be greatly appreciated.thanks Eddie.

Best case scenario is a new oil cooler and flush-out (I assume) of the cooling system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
