| 2.2 Oil in Cooling System | |
Last couple of trips out in the Puma, the temp gauge was a little erratic, reading low rather than getting too hot, then at times returning to normal quite quickly.
Checked the oil and water yesterday. Oil level was low (half way down the dipstick), as was the coolant
Topped up the coolant first and then found where the oil has gone  - Into the cooling system. There's no sign of water in the oil - Oil cap not white/grey with emulsified oil
Immediate thought was Head Gasket or Oil Cooler(Here's hoping for the oil cooler). It's a 2013 2.2, so has the paper element filter, not the later canister type. It has only done 23K
Visual inspection of the oil cooler doesn't reveal any obvious water leaks to explain the coolant loss.
Reading other posts on here though reveal that the fault could well be the oil cooler causing the oil to get into the coolant though?
Could I ask for thoughts, previous experiences/solutions from anyone that's had a similar problem please? 2013 110 Utility
