Coolant colour

Postby DanMK7uk » Tue Apr 29, 2025 2:57 pm

Hi chaps,

My coolant is darker on top, which concerned me it may be oil.

There is no obvious line as such its the colour. Its not black but certainly darker.

Not loosing oil level on dip stick

Could it be a sign of oil cooler on way out ?

Any easy tests to do ?

Cheers

Stick your finger in the header tank, if there oil on your finger it could be the cooler, if no oil on your finger bonus
