Can a blown head gasket cause a coolant leak?

Just like a combustion leak into the cooling system, a blown head gasket, cracked head or block, or faulty oil cooler lines can cause coolant to leak into the engine oil. Often, you can tell coolant has leaked into the lubricating system by the appearance of a milky white substance on the dipstick or under the valve covers.

What causes coolant to leak into engine oil?

Is Coolant Leaking Into the Engine Oil? Just like a combustion leak into the cooling system, a blown head gasket, cracked head or block, or faulty oil cooler lines can cause coolant to leak into the engine oil.

Where is the coolant in the radiator when there is no leak?

There’s a COLD/MIN label on the tank indicating the ideal antifreeze level when the engine is cold. The coolant in the radiator should be just below the filler neck. When you are losing coolant but no leak is visible, several parts could be the guilty party.

Where does the coolant go after hot exhaust?

These are problematic in that directly behind the throttle body there are 2 small coolant passages adjacent to the EGR inlet to the intake. Hot exhaust eventually cracks the plastic to the point that a small amount of coolant can enter the inside of the intake.
