Not sure if it belongs here, But I am working on a 99 Chrysler Town and Country.. 3.8l Auto. My fiancé drove it home last night, said for a couple weeks it was warming up with no heat, then last night over heated. So I checked it out for him, and the radiator is totally CAKED with muddy oil. I thought head gasket, and pulled a valve cover, and inside it is nice and clean. The oil level is VERY low, the dipstick is clean, radiator is low but the reservoir is full with brown fluid. So. My question is, does this thing have a cooler for the oil in the radiator? I have heard of the oil cooler leaking into the radiator.. The transmission fluid is fine, and is run to a different cooler.. There is the two big hoses into the radiator, the over flow, and then two smaller hoses on the driver side of the radiator by the cap.


Thanks a ton!

 

Yes you are in the correct section. I have seen transmission fluid leak into the radiator. Do you know if the cooler is also part of the radiator or does it have an AUX cooler? Also do you know if someone could have put stop leak into the radiator?

 

Sorry I left you hanging here.. Had to take it to the shop. It did turn out to be a blown head gasket.. However, I lost my 7 year old son, and everything repair wise came to a screeching halt. ='( Once again, Sorry.. I didn't mean to ditch out on the forum. Thanks for taking time to help though.
