A few months ago, I had posted concerns about a bad headgasket. See http://www.************.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79834
Well, working 55-60 hour weeks has prevented me from pulling the motor and changing the headgaskets. The car is in the paint shop right now, getting a total repaint (color change), and I have not wanted to mess with it while they have been working on it between insurance jobs.
In a nutshell, my new motor has 20 mins of run time on it, most of it idle. I decided to do an oil change to remove any metal powder and debris, and I noticed green oil. There was also 1/4" if oil in my coolant tank. I've read that oil adapters that have the oil cooler built-in are known to go out. My original 96 GT motor had the oil adapter w/cooler, so I decided to re-use it, instead of getting a standard oil adapter. Would this be a likely culprit for my oil-in-coolant/coolant-in-oil problem? I didn't notice oil-in-coolant until after I did my oil change. The oil was not milky, but just greenish. Maybe it had not had time to blend enought to get milky?
