[QUOTE="gimli, post: 610999, member: 942"] have you checked the engine oil cap? if there is milky brown stuff then could be either:- 1)gasket 2)head warped or cracked 3)engine block warped cracked if its cracked, you need to replaced, if warped, you can send it for skimming. If the block is cracked, I suggest changing it. And since you are using a M54 engine, the price is quite reasonable, much cheaper then overhauling. BTW why did you change the head gasket? And if memory serves me correct, a leaking oil cooler can also cause engine oil to leak into the radiator (can someone pls confirm this?) [/QUOTE]
