Coolant in oil

[Anonymous]

I have coolant leaking into the oil pan.

This is with the engine not running.

Is this more a sign of a blown head gasket or a cracked block?

Head gasket I hope.

Sorry to be the confirmer of bad news. It actually could be any of these.

1.) A blown head gasket. This is the cheapest and easiet to repair.

2.) A cracked head. Same repair as the head gasket, you just need aa new head too.

3.) A cracked block. What a great opportunity to put in that full-race six you've been day-dreaming about.

In the mean time, pour in some Barrs Stop Leak.
After about an hour of running time, turn the radiator cap a quarter turn loose, so it won't build up pressure.

Good Luck
