oil in water but no water in oil

Postby brettd1 » Mon Aug 08, 2016 9:14 pm

I've got oil in header tank about an inch of gunk not losing any water or overheating and nothing on dipstick or around oil filler cap also a massive leak around thermostat housing and oil sensor switch. Is it head gasket or thermostat housing?

My guess
Thermostat housing.
I had same problem + leaking oil onto gearbox
Changed thermostat housing.
Problem solved
