Oil in coolant

[Tony172]

As title, I've got oil in my coolant but no mayo on oil filler cap, also the car doesn't overheat at all.

Any ideas??

Was it put in there by accident??

No the car uses a little bit of oil! I thought HG but it doesn't overheat or anything

Is it definitely oil? and not just the oily residue that is found in expansion tanks?! My old Alfa was a minter but always had an oily residue in the expansion tank even shortly after changing the coolant....my mate who is a top mechanic said it was perfectly normal... just a thought..!

Mega rare on these engines though

If there is oil in the header tank, if you didn't put it in, there is only one way it gets there... HGF

It doesn't always result in poor engine running and over heating
