What causes oil to mix with water in the radiator?

A blown head gasket is a common cause of oil mixing with coolant. This thin sheet of metal sits between the engine block and cylinder head to create an air-tight and liquid-tight seal. If it fails, oil and coolant may mix together. In some cases, coolant will enter the oil.

What does it mean when you have water in your oil?

Water in the oil – Coolant leak due to non-watertight seal (cylinder head gasket, etc.). If this happens, there is a leak and water is getting into the oil. Water in motor oil can cause serious damage to your engine – the oil will be denatured and no longer effectively cooled.
