Recently detected oil in the coolant. Will be taking the car to my mechanic to diagnose but would appreciate knowing the range of possibilities and what you would think would be most likely. Thank you.

Hi there,

This can often be a cracked head or a gasket problem, also if you have a transmission cooler built into the radiator, it may be cracked causing transmission oil to leach in, have all these checked.
