Four months ago we purchased this Town Car used from our local Lincoln dealer. It has run well and still does; however, when I took it in for an oil change the antifreeze was sudsy and appeared to have oil in it. Can this be any other problem other than the head gasket? I'm taking it to my mechanic next week; I trust him, but I'd still like a second opinion before I put $3,000 into a ten year old car. The car is in excellent condition inside and out; I'd like very much to keep it, but don't want any more surprises.

Hi there,

If the radiator has an integrated transmission oil cooler, have this inspected as well and make sure that thee is no water in the transmission oil. This guide will help us fix it
