Default HELP I need some Help with my Jeep.

We have oil sludge in our Engine Coolant tank but none in the Oil and its still full!

The jeep run fine, No noise, smell, or anything...

The oil has not Coolant but the Coolant has oil and a LOT OF IT.

If it was a head wouldn't it be loosing oil or have some Antifreeze in it right?

Any help would be nice this is our main car we need it.

Are you sure it's oil?

Drain the coolant, take a picture of it and post it up here.

did you just buy the jeep? could be the previous owners attempt to fix a coolant leak with block seal, radiator seal, head gasket fix...that stuff stays in the engine forever and sometimes will float around in the coolant
