i'd say head gasket is rooted ... is the coolant in the oil ?

[noongv6]

yeah mate theres a f**k load of oil in the radiator an a bit in the oil pan

[1SIKR8]

yea mate i'd dare say the head gasket it royally ####ed, thats the first place to check if you get oil in the coolant

[Pub247]

engine oil or transmission oil?

engine oil or transmission oil?

should probly ask if its an auto or manual to knock that one on the head

[noongv6]

[1SIKR8]

yea manual then i'd deafinatly look at heads, the usual spot for it too happen mate

definitely head gasket mate or if he has worked on it possibly didn't get the heads machined before he put them back on.

Easiest fix might also be the water pump seal behind the timing cover so if ur heads do come off check that before proceeding further. Also has the timing cover been resealed recently??

if he didn't machine the heads ( they shouldn't really warp, there cast not alloy ) but if he didn't i'd be doing a compression test, cause if the heads are not sitting right your guarenteed to have compression getting around the gasket one way or another
