Smile 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
