@mr.flipwhips: This is exactly what you don’t want to see when checking an engine. Oil mixed with coolant doesn’t always look dramatic — sometimes it just sits there, looking like pudding. That’s why quick visual checks matter. - You don’t need tools. - You don’t need to be a mechanic. - You just need to know what normal looks like. Because once oil and coolant mix, it’s rarely a small issue. And by the time it shows symptoms on the road, the damage is usually done. This is how bad cars slip through — not because people ignore problems, but because they don’t recognise the signs.
