Oil in radiator expansion tank.

[Datadogie]

Think I will be scrapping my car. Last MOT advisory for rust on rear subframe. Now this. It will be more money than the car is worth to fix.

Could be autotransmission fluid if the tranny heat exchanger is in the radiator? IF THE AUTOTRANS IS STILL WORKING OK a radiator swap and new gearbox fluid might be a relatively cheap fix?

I replaced the radiator last year.

I think the oil filter housing has an oil/coolant heat exchanger on it-- the gasket between this and the block is known to go
whats the engine oil on dipstick like?

I think that cooler is for diesel. But I've made my mind up she's going. No point in spending good money after bad. I fear it will be something else next month.
