Unhappy How hosed am I? :(

Well, the problem in my previous thread went away! No more power steering noise!

So I took it out for a test drive....

and the engine overheated...

and after it cooled down, there was oil floating on the coolant. :'(

I'm pretty sure that means my head is cooked, but I'm REALLY hoping there is another answer that won't total my Jeep.

WJ?


There aren't many other explanations for contaminated oil/coolant.

Are you sure it's not transmission fluid? It would probably be pink and foamy.
