roadster

Hi,

My thermostat failed in the open position and my car has been running cold for about a week. I have replaced the termostat now but while i was doing so i noticed i have oil in my coolant, not much however. When i replaced the termostat i replced the coolant as well.

Is it possible the two are linked? ie my car has been running cold and therefore some oily accumulation has accumulated in my cooling system as a result?

I do not think it is a head gasket problem...there is no water in the oil and the car appears to run fine. (i have change the oil as well just to check).

Does anyone know if the two could be linked and am i likely to see the oily stuff stop appearing in the coolant if i change it again in about a week or so..

Any help apprechiated.

sounds funkey what kind of engine do u have?
