oil in my coolant! 03 Freelander
I have about an inch of motor oil floating on top of my coolant in the coolant resevoir of my 2003 Land Rover Freelander SE with only 70000 km's or roughly 40,000 miles! With these 2.5 V6's, I have been lead to believe that oil coolers are a problem causing this oil/coolant problem! However, it has also been suggested that the engine needs to be replaced!!! At this point, I have not seen any coolant mixing in with my oil! I would take it to a Land Rover dealer, but the closest one is roughly 5 hours away. Has anybody out there experienced anything like this and have any insight/advice?? Thanks

Re: oil in my coolant! 03 Freelander
HOPE THIS WILL HELP
oil in water problem. mechanic by trade so hopefully can help sounds like the dreaded head gasket. if this was an oil cooler problem you would get oil in coolant and also the other way when engine is running oil pressure is higher than coolant pressure so oil manges to squeeze into water, but when you switch engine off oil pressure drops immediatly and water pressure is still there leading to coolant in the oil. but a head gasket can't be predicted as to whether oil in water or water in oil or engine gasses in either HOPE THIS HELPS |

you will have to flush out tranny very well and the coolant replace tranny oil cooler (not a cheap item) Failure to do this well will resoult in the tranny electrics going crazy from the water thats got in the tranny. Good luck
