oil or diesel fuel in radiator on 450 diesel

Kirch in Mn. · Jul 19, 2008

I bought a 450 diesel that had been sitting for at least 8 years. I got it home, and finally got it running. It runs good, but it seems to have oil or diesel fuel in the radiator. I flushed the radiator out a couple of times, but still there. The water level does not appear to go down any. Any help? Thanks!

do you have an oil cooler in the radiator? check that out. CC

Put in plain water and dish soap. run it then flush twice, Then run it with plain water to see if it comes back. If so, it needs to be pulled down foe a check of the head (cracks) or gasket leak from oil into coolant. Magnaflux (or other process) the head for cracks for sure. JimN
