    E="bender, post: 2964896, member: 46185"]It would be best to loosen up the oil pan drain plug and see if coolant comes out. If no coolant comes out and your oil isn't milky it most likely isn't the water pump.[/QUOTE] hey bender,I have a c12 , I'm getting oil in coolant so I had oil cooler replaced,still oil in coolant, replaced water pump, still oil in coolant, rebuilt motor with gold kit,still oil getting in coolant, about 1quart every 100 miles. mechanic
    Put same head back on after he said he had it worked. What next?

    I had the same problem, it was my air compressor.

    I wonder if non-exhaust air bubbles in coolant would point to bad air-compressor.

    The two are probably unrelated. It's normal for your oil pressure to drop as the oil heats up. Also I've found my dash gauge to not be very accurate. I get more consistent readings from my scan gauge.
