I got the car it has oil in the coolant and coolant in the oil. I have drained the oil and coolant. I tried to flush all the crud out of the engine and coolant system. And I haven't put the drain plugs in, in the last 3 days.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

If motor oil and coolant are mixing, there is a good chance it is a head gasket. Do me a favor. Take a look through this link. It explains how to check for a bad head gasket. See if what is discussed mirrors what you are experiencing.

Ultimately, you may need to do a compression test to confirm an issue.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
