Hi guys. i some advise and opinion. expansion tank ada minyak la. already change both radiator and gear box cooler but not solve. Already kopak my pocket rm 3000. anything to do with head gasket or what..please, coz this time i wanna do it rite.
 
bro, have you done a compression test on the engine cylinders before?

What type of oi is found in the cooling system?
Engine oil or ATF oil.

If it is engine oil, your problem could be attributed to blown gasket or a crack on the cylinder head to the water jacket.
A compression test on individual cylinder should be able to confirm this.

btw, did you experience an engine overheating recently?
 
btw, what year / model and engine spec is your ride? it will help to identify the symptoms better.
 
yes. about 2 months ago and compression test pun dah buat. nothing crack what so ever was found. mine is E46 N42 4 cylinders 2000cc. year 2001. 318i.sorry for late reply. send my car to bengkel and until this evening stiil no news from them. if ada crack, so have to replace the engine?. hah...cost about 10k dude...matila camni. anyway thanx dude
 
Do a leakdown test. Its better at identifying if you have a headgasket problem.
