SOURCE: oil mixing with antifreeze!

If oil is brown, the problem is a blown head gasket. In that instance, do not drive the car or you will damage the engine bearings. If oil is reddish, then the transmission cooler in the radiator has failed. Again, don't drive or trans will be damaged. Usually there will also be signs of antifreeze in the engine oil with a head gasket failure. If you just bought the car, the oil you see in the radiator may be a sealant added to stop a radiator leak. However, the condition should be verified to make sure that it is not from either of the failures I listed. Testing is far cheaper than a new engine!!!
Good luck

SOURCE: Overheating, boil over when I turn on the heat

Okay! So what I did was cut my car completely off for two days, I drained the radiator by unplugging it, I took the water hose and just let the water flow in and out from the coolant housing under the hood in the right hand corner, I also let the water flow into and out of the radiator, I plugged the radiator back up after just a few clear coats of water flowed through, I filled with 1 1/2 containers of Peak 50/50 Antifreeze/Coolant. I later in the day noticed that one of my fans were out and the other one wouldn't stay on. I ran a kill switch from the inside to the fans, only one is working due to the motor on one of them but I can guarantee that my car hasn't over heated or ran hot since I did this coolant flush. And also when you put the new coolant in make sure that the car is excessively cold. If your fans aren't spinning then that's another reason. I wish you luck.

SOURCE: 2000 oldsmobile Silhouette engine over heating and

These two problems are related, your engine is overheating because there isn't enough coolant to dissipate the heat. There are three main causes for coolant in the engine oil:

1. Cracked head
2. Blown head or intake gasket
3. Cracked block.

The gaskets are an easy and relatively cheap fix, the head replacemnet isn't to difficult but will run you more than the gaskets. If the block is cracked (pretty rare) you'll need a new motor because it's going to comletelyu fail sooner or later.

SOURCE: motor oil spewing onto the engine

Unfortunately, this sounds like you have a bad head gasket. The motor oil is most likely mixing with the antifreeze as well. This also explains the antifreeze leak.

I wish I had better news for you! :(

Over heating problem

Check the oil dipstick. Some older GM engines have a history of headgaskets. This will be evendent if there is antifreeze mixing with your oil. Has the thermostat ever been changed? Or the waterpump?

I have a thick dark brown sludge in my antifreez resevoir tank is it oil or really old antifreeze?

Usually antifreeze and oil mixing causes a dark whiteish milkshake consistancy liquid so if its a dark color i'd guess its REALLY old antifreeze with a lot of corrosion from your engine. Get it flushed and changed a.s.a.p. and hope it didnt mess it up to bad.

Makes extra oil, has died & won't start, rplaced o2 sensor started and ran for a bit, has now died again??

It can't make oil. It must be fuel or antifreeze mixing with the oil. Is it running really rich and flooding the engine out? That would explain gas in the oil. Or do you notice the antifreeze level going down?

I have oil in my radiator

Bad news :(
A seal is leaking and most likely the head gasket which is allowing high pressure engine oil to be forced into the low pressure cooling system.

Just had a new cylinder head fitted to my 1997 toyota land cruiser , now its over heating what could be the problem .

It sounds like the head gasket is leaking and needs to be replaced. Keep in mind that the antifreeze is corrosive to the bearing to the engine so try to replace the gasket and engine oil soon as possible. Keep an eye on the oil level and condition, check to make sure that there is no antifreeze mixing with the engine oil. If your lucky, it could just be a bad thermostat and less work to replace the thermostat. Good luck

Engine over heat

This engine could over heat for several reasons. here are a few things to check check and make sure that the radiator fan is working . check and make sure that coolant is filled in radiator check the lower radiator hose it should be hot when vehicle is hot if it NOT then thermostat may be stuck closed and that will be the reason for over heating. If all of the above is good then check for oil and antifreeze mixing. If it is mixing in oil it would look like a milk shake. Look for white smoke from tail pipe.
