Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
this happended to me recently, mechanic said my inlet manifold gaskets needed replacing as they were leaking, got the job done, no problems for over 4 months now
Just do both. They are both going to need to be done eventually. If the radiator has some k's on it (100,000+) then it's going to be ready for the bin soon anyway.Going to get this problem fixed this week guys.How do I know if it's the radiator or inlet manifold gaskets that need to be done ??? dont want to replace not the existing problem.Can the mechanics test out for either one.Thanks guys.
And it'll float. If the gunk in the radiator is suspended in the coolant it's from the pellets, or from the coolant gunking up due to a leak.If its the radiator the oil will be pink or reddish colour.

Have to disagree there, my radiator has clocked 170,000kms still going strong
Took the car in to the mechanic and he had a good look at it.Did a pressure test cooling system check all was fine ,checked trans cooler and and trans oil and engine oil all was fine.He said oily brown residue on overflow dipstick and radiator cap is from the pellets holden put in and nothing is wrong with the car.
