From a bad head gasket, oil can get into the cooling system and coolant into the oil.Can oil get into a radiator from a bad head gasket or would it only let anti freeze into the oil pan?
A cracked block, a blown head gasket or any similar type of leak will allow the oil and radiator fluid to mix. Open the radiator cap-directly on the radiator-(when it's cold) and look at the bottom of the cap--white gunk? That's oil in the radiator fluid. Pull the dip stick, see the bubbles on the dipstick? That's caused by radiator fluid in the oil.
if u blow a head gasket water can get in the oil pan or oil can get in the radiiater take of the radiater cap if trere is oil u will see it right on top
Oil very seldom gets into the radiator from a head gasket, because the radiator is under pressure, and the oil in and around the head gasket is more or less neutral pressure, or negative.


Oil in the radiator is usually associated with the transmission oil cooler, that can leak into the cooling system, this generally on automatic transmission cars.
it would let antifreeze in the oil pan and throughout like the best way to check is pull your oil cap and turn it upside down if you see a white milky substance blown head gasket or white smoke from exhaust it means coolant is being let in the combustion chamber
Yes it can happen, if it's a quad 4 they have always had head problems at some point.
yes
