hi there guys,
i have a clk240 2002 and it recently had its gearbox reconditioned. however its been a few months now and after having a health check from merc, they reported that oil was in the coolant reservoir. i have checked again today by a garage who did my oil change and they saw quite abit of oil s he dipped his finger in the coolant. he said it could be that the oil cooler could be at fault or a more serious problem which could be a head gasket. my problem now is what to do. should i flush the coolant and see if it happens again, replace the oil cooler and flush system again or would it be a head gasket problem? the gearbox was reconditioned and the radiator was changed at the same time. and could any1 tell me what coolant i should add and how much of it? euro car parts have triple qx up as recommended which is in a blue colour but halfords seem to say that comma extreme g48 is the one for the car.
thanks for the help in advance
ps any tips or advice on what i could do would be much appreciated
