Can coolant leak from oil pan?
most likely its running down and around the pan gasket. you can mix oil and coolant and it’ll separate itself. like if your car sits and has a coolant leak into the engine and you pull the drain plug you’ll get coolant out of it before oil.
Why is there coolant on my oil pan?
If there is oil in your coolant or vice versa, it generally means there is a failure in one or more of your engine’s gaskets or seals. Your engine is designed so that there is one system that controls engine oil to lubricate your vehicle and another that manages coolant to keep your car from overheating.
What happens if a coolant is leaking from the bottom of the engine?
This will result in a low coolant level and decreased cooling of your engine. If you drive even for a short time without enough coolant, your engine can seize or die altogether. An antifreeze leak can occur through a hole in your radiator.
What happens if you put antifreeze in oil?
No. Coolant in the oil will cause internal engine parts to be improperly lubricated and will cause premature failure. The oil should be changed before operating the engine.
Is the coolant leaking from the rear of the engine?
Fluid smells sweet and looks more orange than red so I dont think its transmission fluid. I have checked the coolant tank and the hose that connects to it, not leaking from there. Tank was low though. All the temp gauges run normal. I can see it dripping. Any idea what this is? Truck is a 12 fx4 5.0 with 68k.
Is the head gasket on a Chevy Silverado leaking coolant?
I thought about head gasket (s) but since the coolant is on both sides of the oil pan that seems unlikely to develop the same leak in each side of the engine. Truck runs ok. No water on the dipstick. When running, the truck has some white vapor in the exhaust. it’s light, but there year round.

Why did my Toyota Tacoma have a coolant leak?
That engine has been redesigned in 07 I guess because all the problems like you experienced. The 07+ also got crappy low friction piston rings that gummed up. Then modified pistons were installed with larger oil drain holes. So make sure you get the right generation if you just pull the engine and swap one in.
