Coolant leaking into engine. Runs normal.
Could it be oil cooler or water pump?
When I pull dipstick oil is normal color.
Anyone know how to diagnose and what should I do.
Thanks

Are you sure that the coolant is going into the crankcase oil?
Oil cooler failure usually sends engine oil into the cooling system.
The water pump is highly possible and a common cause of coolant in crankcase oil.
You would need to pull the oil pan and pressurize cooling system, watch for coolant trails at water pump.
Is the oil level raising on the dipstick with engine use?
If the engine oil has coolant entering the coolant will go to the bottom of pan sump after sitting over night. Crack oil drain plug open in morning and drain into pan. Are you getting any coolant before the oil comes out? -
Ok I'll try it out, I'll keep you posted. Thanks for your help

Cooter1... I am having the same issue with my C12 as well. I don't see anything leaking on the ground or anywhere on the engine. Based on what I have been reading on hear I may be leaning towards the watpump as well. What did you find out on your engine?

I did the pressure test cant find a leak. I just purchased a water pump today i hope this will correct the problem.
