    Cracked engine block?
    All right, I have oil going into my coolant system somehow. I just replaced all the gaskets in my engine to try and cure the problem because I thought it was the head (which got milled also) I cannot for the life of me think of why I continue to get oil in my coolant. I do not have any coolant going into my oil nor has the car over-heated since I've owned it. Even now, it doesn't overheat or ever get hotter or colder than it normally does. I can see my oil level decreasing while my radiator overflow gets a layer of oil on it and it looks about equal amounts to how much oil I'm losing. Thanks for anyone's help!

    Did you replace the gaskets due to the oil showing up in the coolant?

    I was on deployment for 6 months and my dad kept the car in the garage and started it every month for about 20-30 minutes. I noticed the oil in the coolant after I got back and drove it around. If I hadn't looked at the coolant I wouldn't have known anything was wrong because it doesn't overheat at all, nor does it perform any differently leading me to believe it's a small small crack letting in small amounts of oil into the coolant when I drive...

    Yes, I changed all the gaskets and hoses and performed a radiator flush. I was thinking it was a head gasket but having fixed all that, it still gets oil in the coolant...
