Most times when you have oil in the coolant it is the result of a cracked head and/or block. The oil is drawn into the coolant as the engine cools. Back in the days of KA24E and other engines, I have seen where the timing chain would wear into a water passage resulting in the same scenario.

Another thought, something I just saw in the shop, if the cooler for the trans is defective, it will allow ATF to get into the coolant and coolant into the ATF.< id="gwProxy" ="">< ="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" ="">
