Ok I have a 1990 Toyota Corolla Wagon, 1.6L EFI 5 speed. We (dad and I) recently hauled the engine out to put a different one it upon realizing that it was not all the same. So the antifreeze that came out of the engine that came out of our car, had a skim of Oil on the top, and the over flow bottle was about 25% Oil and 75% antifreeze. SO we didn't know why this was, the car ran fine, there was no antifreeze in the Oil, and there was no signs of a head gasket gone. So we change the antifreeze and put the motor back in (This was the first day of September) I was under the hood of the car poking around making sure everything was doing great. And I pulled the Top off of the Overflow bottle, and was surprised to find that again I had Oil in there.so we took the rad cap off, and there was a small amount in there as well. But again no Antifreeze in the Oil. and no signs of a blown head gasket. and the car works great. Does anybody know what might be the problem?? because oil in the anitfreeze can't be overly good for the car?
