Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator May 12, 2008, 6:55 AM Post #2 of 3 (2865 views) Re: oil in radiator Sign In Short of it being put there by mistake the common reasons are........automatic trans fluid IF the radiator is used to cool the trans fluid which is an oil, or a head gasket problem. To add to the bummer no matter why or how it gets in cooling system the rubber parts of the cooling system (hoses) will be destroyed possibly even the seal at the water pump - arggh! If early get it flushed out and fixed at once, T dmac0923 Enthusiast May 12, 2008, 9:00 AM Post #3 of 3 (2863 views) Re: oil in radiator Sign In like tom said, it depends how many functions your radiator has. is the oil red/marroon colored or jet black. jet black could be a blown headgasket. also check for bubbling in the radiator filler neck or overflow tank red/marroon oil could be a trans fluid cooling line burst in the radiator. which spells double trouble since like tom said 1) oil is bad for all your rubber componants. 2) your transmission is now pumping its fluid into the cooling system. 3) oil doesn not cool as well as antifreeze/water so overheating risk is a concern cou __________________________________________________ 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2002 Ford Ranger 2004 Toyota Corolla 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
