Yes, mayo in the filler neck.  7+ liters drained out of the oil pan.

If it is the head gasket how do I know which side.  Or, do I replace both sides while the engine is dismantled this far.

I removed the oil cooler with ease.  How difficult is it to replace the head gaskets?  Are cracked heads common or does a gasket replacement generally solve the problem?

Omega General Help / Thought I had a bad oil cooler

I started out with coolant in my oil. After researching this forum I determined that my oil cooler was bad, or so I thought.

When I removed the oil cooler, I found really nasty, rusty coolant, but almost no oil.

Can some of you who have replaced the oil cooler tell me what I should have found? I was expecting the kind of goo I drained out of the oil pan.

It would be helpful to know if I'm on the right track.

Thanks.
