What causes oil to leak into my cars cooling system?

Head gasket, cracked head or block!! Good luck!!!What causes oil to leak into my cars cooling system?
In most cases the transmission cooler which is located inside the radiator on vehicles with an automatic transmission can rupture and mix oil with the coolant and usually looks like a strawberry milk shake.


A bad head gasket will usually cause coolant in the oil not the other way around.What causes oil to leak into my cars cooling system?
most likely a bad cylinder head or gasket
blown head gasket will not cause oil into your cooling system, instead it blow your coolant of the cap and cause engine overheating.


a crack on the block, means a coolant into your oil, oil will become milky and frothy.


two common source of oil into the coolant are the engine oil cooler and the water pump.


crack on the oil cooler tubes injects oil into the coolant,,this happens when the engine is running since oil pressure is higher than the coolant pressure.


bad water pump seal causes oil into the coolant, the seal separates the water from oil. once the seal is bad it will leak oil into the coolant side, specially when the weep hole in the pump is plugged. replace the pump to correct the problem.
a leaking head gasket or a crack in the block or head of the engine either way not good to have oil in coolant engine is probly junk
You More than Likely Have a Head gasket , Warped head , or a cracked head...
Year, make ,model please. In most cases, its a head gasket leak.
busted water jacket in the head or blown head gasket between water jacket and cylinder. this will cause it to leak into the water line. and what goes into the cylinder comes out of the exhaust in the form of steam.
Bad Head Gasket!
a blown head gasket or intake manifold gasket.
