If oil was in a radiator in 1999 chevy camaro & now after flushing?

...the radiator twicw its not %26amp; its running great just as if nothing ever happendw/oil being in the radiator to begin with, what could of caused the oil to of got in the radiator to begin with? %26amp; Its been over a month now %26amp; showing no more signs of oil in the radiator still...%26amp; runs GREAT~! : )If oil was in a radiator in 1999 chevy camaro %26amp; now after flushing?
it was transmission fluid in the radiator. maybe the transmission oil cooler cracked and leaked fluid in the radiator and it just sealed itself.If oil was in a radiator in 1999 chevy camaro %26amp; now after flushing?
Could be an intake maniford gasket or head gasket but if its running great and no sign of oil after flushing the coolant maybe someone put oil in the radiator.
it most likely wasnt oil to begin with the Orange coolant called dexcool that gm uses if it is not changed and startes getting weak and breaking down then it starts get stringy and collect rust and other contaminates and it looks oily


usually a good radiator and cooling system flush will do the trick but now what you need to watch for is the intake gaskets and waterpump gaskets to start leaking





On these older vehicals you can use Coca Cola to flush out the radiator it has just enough acid to do the job usually a 2 liter is enough
not sure about oil but somtimes trans fluid from the cooler on the bottom of the radiator can mix them because inside it breaks..
