If you have oil cooler failure, its best not to drive until its fixed.
Do you have an emulsion (creamy) fluid in the expansion tank? Or are you just losing coolant?

I am having this creamy greasy stuff in the expansion tank.

I am having this creany sludge mixed with the water in the expansion tank.

Just remember then that the longer you use it like this, more components, like the heater matrix, thermostat and radiator will be getting clogged with gunk...

I'd recommend against using it - not only is that creamy sludge getting everywhere and will be a swine to remove, but it is also DRASTICALLY reducing the cooling efficiency.  And you can't go by the gauge thinking its not getting too hot, as the sensors will be covered in the same mayo, and reading low.

I will second this asa i drove mine with a failed oil cooler and I'm still suffering from the after effects now! It takes ages to get all the gunk out of your system!

and deteriorating your rubber hoses.

In this instance, what all do i need to change. The point is that it is pretty hard to find parts out here. Can anyone help me get most of these and let me know the cost of all i need to replace.

I had wanted to flush radiator and open clean cooler and replace with coolant instead of water. Any adhoc solutions.
