I do have a few oil leaks around the pan etc. yes it is a mess.
No overflow bottle so there has been coolant spew over the front of the engine. When I stuck my finger in the cold radiator my finger was covered in oil and coolant. I wiped my finger dry and it was black from oil.
My plan is to do a compression test and maybe a leak down. I have done head gasket replacements but never anything on the bottom end or timing cover. I figured with a blown head gasket I would have seen water in the oil not the reverse.
I would rather not open the bottom but I think this may just be a new learning experience.
Thanks
