Took reservoir, which is nasty looking(coated with unwashable gunk) off and noticed that the hole was restricted somewhat. Noticed constant drip out of reservoir drain on rad neck so I need a new cap. While running the flush the temps were about 15 degrees apart in/out. Temps seemed pretty even across rad. Used the backflush system to get everything out. Then the bummer...
Still have the oil slick on the otherwise clean, backflushed water. I know this isn't good. I was hoping(?!) it was a leak in the trans cooler but I took off the top hose and got the water from there and sure enough, oil slick. So......how do I know if it's head gasket or just(HA!) the intake manifold procedure. I've read pressure test. Does that determine my next move? Is that something I can do? Does anybody have a link to procedures?
Thanks for your help.

What kind of oil flow did you get through the oil cooler in the radiator tank? Is it flowing okay?
