[QUOTE="novaman, post: 671458, member: 2744"] If you are getting oil in the coolant it is likely you are getting coolant in the oil as well. This is a very bad problem as coolant will take bearings out in a hurry. We've had instances where simply replacing the oil cooler solved the problem. Not sure if or where the oil cooler is on a Duramax. Blown head gasket is a possibility but I would rule out everything else before ripping the engine apart. Are you pushing coolant out the overflow? In my experience a blown head gasket will create added pressure in the radiator and blow coolant out. [/QUOTE]
