91 ranger getting oil in the raidiator
 

Thanx for looking, hope u can help. I just bought the truck and ut is getting oil in the raidiator. Im thinking a blown headgasket, but im not sure. It has the 3.0 in it. If anyone knows anything bout this PLEASE help. Also the gas gauge isnt working, I put a new sending unit in but no luck. Thanx agan for looking.

Does the vehicle have an automatic trans? Check trans fluid level. Trans fluid can get into the cooling system if trans cooler in the radiator is defective.
Also , you might try a cooling system pressure test and see if the system will hold pressure.Sometimes takes an hour or more to reveal possible leak. Does the coolant have any particular color other than milky?

Well it has a 5speed, and the oil/water is just Milky

Sometimes you can pin down a possible cylinder area by carefully looking at the appearance of the plugs. Look for any special difference of one spark plug compared to the rest.

Ya I just havent made it that far yet, I want to put a new tune up on it anyway, but its had soooo many problems that iv been tryn to fix,but I will check the plugs today, thanx for the help.

you might check the oil in the pan and if there's water or coolant in it then you have a blown head gasket or worse

Its not getting water in the oil, its getting oil in the raidiator

ok does it hot quickly or not?

Im not sure yet I just got the truck, but wen I drove it home ,it never got hot. I drove it maybe 10/15 miles

ok start it up and let it run for about 20 minutes and watch the temp gauge and if it gets above the normal temp then you'l know
