Why am I getting oil in my coolant?
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.
Is it possible for oil to get into coolant?
Faulty Oil Cooler: Most modern cars have an oil cooler fitter on the car. Sometimes the oil cooler cracks due to overuse or age. When a crack occurs, the oil will start to leak into the coolant. If the engine overheats the head gasket blows up and causes oil to leak into the coolant system.
What happens if coolant mixed with oil?
Overheating – If coolant mixes with the oil, the engine will not be able to cool or lubricate itself properly. This can result in overheating and increased engine wear. Keep an eye on your temperature gauge and refrain from driving if it gets too high.
