oil in my coolant
I currently am getting oil in my coolant but not the reverse. I had this once before and I replaced the oil ooler gasket which solved the probelm. I pulled my car up on ramps the other day and it appears that I have both oil and coolant leaking from my OPRV bolt. Is this a possibilitly to my probem? I checked it and it is tight. Could it have blown an o-ring in there? Thanks in advance for the feedback. I did a search on this and ouldnt find anything about leaking from the OPRV causing it.

My brother bought a 944 with oil in the coolant and we changed the seals. It did it again - turns out the oil cooler element itself was leaking. We replaced that and it has been solid ever since.

Hmm thats not what I wanted to hear lol, thanks for the reply. If no one else has anything to say about it and I cant further diagnose it then this might be what I have to do. Thanks sharky... by the way my brother-in-law has a ranch in johnson city, so next time I plan on going down there we might have to get together if it falls good for the both of us.

Sure it's coming from the oprv? Might try cleaning things up and confirming where it's coming from. Either way, sounds like it needs to come apart assuming no head gasket symptoms.
