oil in radiator

[moetstockie]

Folks
        I have a little oil in radiator water but no water in my oil. 138 grey motor FE wagon. Ideas on what the problem could be?  Moe`t

Water in the oil is sometimes not as bad if we are talking side plates as it can be something as simple as a welsh plug under the side cover. But oil in the water only , that would infer its coming in under pressure . Like a blown head gasket , cracked or corroded head . Have you checked the spark plugs for signs of water or after it cools after a long run does it run rough on start up? Anyway you look at it ,not good news .Haydn

On the bright side tho Moe`t, at least your radiator shouldn't rust

Thanks HSV - 001,  Sounds like there is a bit of a consensus on this. Will look at head gasket or a crack in head ......  Sounds like we need to do a little work on the rocket.  Thanks Moe`t
