Engine Cooling problem
1997 Ford E-Series Van

Why is there oil in the coolant and coolant in the oil? This van has a V10 with a oil cooler.

If it is the motor oil that you are refering to, you have a bad head gasket. If it is trans oil you are refering to, chances are the trans cooler in the radiator is leaking into the coolant.

Let me know if you have other questions.
