My car is leaking a lot of oil into my radiator and a little onto the ground. Water or antifreeze is also leaking into my front passenger floorboard. It hasn't overheated at all. But just recently my check engine light has come on. I know I probably need to replace my head gaskets but I'm just now sure what to look for or if there may be a bigger problem. Thanks for the help.

Hi Kimberly2986,

If oil is getting into the radiator, there is something wrong with the cylinder head, its gasket or block. If you remove the head, make sure you can find the fault area and have the head tested for cracks or warpage.

Anti freeze leaking on floorboard means the heater core is leaking.
