Oil in Drivers side coolant res. is this a Problem?

[2002_500HP]

Hey Guys,
I was draining my coolant system today and noticed there was a layer of oil floating on top of the anti-freeze in the drivers side coolant res. I didn't install a Oil Sep. until about 20k miles....do i have something cracked somewhere or is this from the PCV system? Any input would be great i left it unfilled until if figure out if this a a problem somewhere.

Sounds like you may have lifted a head.

Have you checked your oil for water?

 

[2002_500HP]

no water in the oil the last 2 oil changes last one about 2000 miles ago, i guess i will have to drain it again and see. and it's still bone stock w just a CAI, Are just weird it would have lifted a head.

Do you have any leaks underneath engine?

 

[2002_500HP]

No i have no fluid leaks anywhere....no oil spots or anything of any kind just road grime.

You could have a leaking head gasket (between a oil drain and a water jacket)

i'm gonna refill it and keep a good watch on it...i'm thinking it's something minor that could turn into something major...o well if the motor goes i'll get a new one with the Warranty i have on. Makes me wanna go ahead and finish up my shortblock.

What is the verdict???? I think I have the same prob you have. Checked my fluid and I had a nice layer of what seemed like oil on the inside wall of my coolant Reservoir.

Let me know

If it's under warranty then go have it looked at.
