I have oil in my Radiator water. What can i do?

replace the radiator and have your transmission flushed and a new filter put in it as the bottom part of your radiator is the cooling for your tranny and it has broke open and mixed into your radiator water and the radiator fluid is now running through your tranny too.I have oil in my Radiator water.

You either have a cracked head, or the head gaskets gone.


So you need to figure out if it's worth it to get fixed.


It's expensive, well over $1000 depending on the vehicle, and if you can get a good deal from a shop.


Take it in and see if it's the gasket or the head itself, and go from there. The gasket kit runs anywhere from $150-$400 (roughly), to do it yourself, but if the head is cracked.....won't do you much good.I have oil in my Radiator water. What can i do?
THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CAST. A PINHOLE APPEARS IN THE CASTING ALLOWING OIL FROM THE OIL GALLEY, WHICH IS PART OF THE ENGINE BLOCK BORED FOR THE OIL TO CIRCULATE. THE OIL IS THEN PUMPED INTO THE WATER COOLING JACKET OR ANOTHER PART OF THE ENGINE WHERE THE COOLING WATER CIRCULATES, AND THEN INTO THE RADIATOR. IT IS SIMPLY A FAILURE IN THE CASTING OF THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE ONLY CURE I KNOW OF IS ANOTHER ENGINE BLOCK, SHORT BLOCK OR LONG BLOCK. I PREFER A LONG BLOCK, BECAUSE THE HEADS ARE ALREADY RE-WORKED AND BOLTED ON. ABOUT THE SAME COST.
Head gasket leaking, and they don't make stopleak you can put in your oil. If it was water in the oil, you might stand a chance, but you're on your way to getting your hands dirty or spending some money. Sorry.
