    i thought my problems were finished, no more leaky radiator.

    but no, i appear to now be getting oil into my coolant. (the coolant is milky after use, at least on the top...and when if gets on the ground, spray a little water on it and watch it rainbow)

    what's the most probable cause of this? if it was the head gaskets, wouldn't i be experiencing performance troubles?

    Has this motor gotten overheated by any chance? Not saying this is it, but it's possible you have a crack on the top side of the head and oil is seeping into the coolant. Hopefully, that's not the case.

    Have you used a pressure tester on the radiator? If you don't have one, you can get one from Autozone. Spray soapy water around the engine if you can't hear or see obvious leaks. The soapy water will bubble up real fast if you have a leak.

    FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BE A GASKET.

    if the head is cracked, ugh. i'll try the soapy water thing.

    and yes, i had an overheat a little bit ago. this started a few weeks after that at random, though.
