Steps to take if fluid analysis determines that there is coolant in your oil:
1. If the leak is small, watch for decreases in coolant level and/or increases in oil level.
2. Perform a coolant pressure test check to make sure there is no coolant pressure loss.
3. If diagnostics indicate problem, it could be due to a leaky head gasket, a cracked
head/block, a leaking oil cooler, worn cylinder inner seals, or a leaking injector seal.
Once the cause has been determined, drain and flush the system(s) before replacing
any necessary parts.
4. Check your cooling system to ensure you have the proper coolant, thermostat, hoses
and cooling fan. Also, check to see if the EGR valve needs to replaced.
