Technician:
Concern:	CUSTOMER BELIEVES THERE IS A HEAD GASKET ISSUE. CUSTOMER STATES, THE COOLANT IS OILY AND THE ENGINE OIL WAS ABOUT THREE QUARTS LOW, AND THE VEHICLE HAS HAD ISSUES OVERHEATING BEFORE PREVIOUS REPAIRS. TECHNICIAN NOTES, THERE ISN'T HYDRO CARBONS IN THE COOLING SYSTEM AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER, THERE IS A CRACK INTERNAL ON THE RADIATOR THAT IS CAUSING THE OIL AND COOLANT TO MIX. THE RADIATOR IS LIKELY CRACKED DUE TO OVERHEATING CAUSED BY A COOLANT LEAK COMING FROM THE LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. THE UPPER AND LOWER RADIATOR HOSES ARE STARTING TO SWELL FROM THE ENGINE OIL RUNNING THROUGH THEM. TECHNICIAN WOULD LIKE TO VERIFY THERE IS NOT A HEAD GASKET ISSUE BEFORE FIXING THE LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET LEAK, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO PULL IT APART TWICE. TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDS REPLACING THE RADIATOR, THE THERMOSTAT AND BOTH THE UPPER AND LOWER RADIATOR HOSES. THEN FLUSHING THE COOLING SYSTEM WITH WATER ONCE AND DRIVING IT, BEFORE THE FINAL FLUSH WITH COOLANT. THEN RECHECKING FOR POSSIBLE HEAD GASKET ISSUES BEFORE REPAIRING THE LOWER INTAKE GASKET LEAK.
