Default oil in the radiator!

I have oil in my coolant but no coolant in my oil. Seems a little strange to be a headgasket.. any ideas?

Time for a new oil cooler.

Whatever happened to the 1st Gen, Smokey?

yup .. oil cooler or the o rings are failing .... these things are real easy if you have the time ... pull it and have it tested ( the oil cooler its self ... radiator shop can usually do this) .. then re install with new O-rings and gaskets ... put about half a bottle of dish washer detergent in and run it for a bit till she's warmed up and then flush a few times.. the add your favorite brand of coolant ..

Think that's what it is? That would be easy enuf. I thought my problems went far deeper than that...
I sold it a while back. A guy pulled in my driveway with a roll of hundreds that at the time I couldn't turn away. I now wish everyday I'd said no. I miss that ol girl
