wtk oil in radiator bottle

[rishi_j]

[ronsin1]

does it have oil in the radiator

[Rory Phoulorie]

Blown cylinder head gasket?

Cracked cylinder head (you said no water in the engine)?

[De Dragon]

I think you have a blown head gasket. Do a compression test.

[MISHI]

check your dipstick and the bottom of your oil cap. If it's milkshake looking colour

then the gasket has blown...

Do the bottle test:

Get a bottle and fill it. Open radiator andput bottle upside down. Start car. See if it continually takes water for at least 1 min. especially after you switch it back off...

if it does, then the gasket is gone.

[rev hard]

sounds like a blown cylinder head gasket....

[VexXx Dogg]

agree with my fellow 2nrs here.

classic symptom of a Blown head gasket.

get a compression test done.

dread i have a polo d same thing happen to me. is not d gaskit or cylinder head.
It is the cooling system for the radiator that gone . to fix it the VW doh come use water only d special coolant it does be kinda red in colour
It would cost bout $4000.i.e. New coolant, labour, part to repalce and other small things included the man even clean my injectors for me. not d company. doh even think bout going there.pm me if you want more info

I think is a blown gasket. Usually the oil pressure is much higher than the water pressure so you will find oil in the water and not water in the oil. Look under the radiator cap and look closely and see if there is oil there on the rubber seal.
I had a b13 and use to see oil in the radiator, for about 6 months or so it went on like that. then 1 month the radiator bottle had began to be black with oil . still went to work for about a month and then one day the radiator fan kept staying on and then i see oil in the radiator. never overheat or anything. the gasket gone , teh mechanic say the block crack-buy next engine- sell car.

ok, but what if you have the water from the radiator coming through the exhaust ..

when I start the car (b11) have a strong smell of coolant and white smoke coming from the muffler (don't think its oil)..after a minute and turning off the car, the engine makes a strange vacuum sound and find the water level has dropped in the radiator…

BTW there is no oil in the radiator or on the cap...and no water in the engine oil

[Rory Phoulorie]

Could it be that the cylinder head gasket is also blown, just somewhere between a water passage in the engine block and a cylinder??

Coolant is therefore just getting into the cylinder and being discharged through the exhaust system.

Somebody correct me if I am wrong.

Usually when problems happen like this, in about a month time it will get worse and then you will discover what it really happening.

Definitely blown head gasket.

took down the engine and the bloc has become porous in 2 areas around the 2nd and 3rd chambers.. the gasket didn’t show any failure...also the second cylinder showed no signs of carbon as water got into it and cleaned it to a shine...

gonna change rings and hopefully the bloc could be repaired...

[theblitz]

more than likely its a blown head gasket. cracked blocks and so on are not as common as the gasket failure. if the car overheat recently then daz wat cause the gasket to blow

[Hook]

aside from the most likely reason being a blown head gasket, it could also be a problem with the radiator itself...mixing of fluids due to a leak between the tranny fluid cooling lines and the water cooling lines..have seen this before

how's ur tranny fluid level, rishi_j?

[rishi_j]

arite the problem was an oil cooler de vw equipped with a oil cooler for the engine and an oil cooler for the transmission my problem was with the transmission oil cooler. Both oil and water pass through this lil device and it became porous inside. Twice we took out the oilcooler immerse it in water and pass bout 40Psi air pressure inside it and found no leaks. But we immerse it in hot water after and den pass 40psi again and find the leaks.

Oil cooler and oil changed cost about 4000$
