MG Car Repair: Antifreeze Leakage into Engine, head gasket problem, antifreeze leak

Question
On a 1969 Engine and 1972 Body Can Antifreeze leak into the engine Through the Radiator or Oil Cooler and if so what would cause this? Im experiencing this anti freeze problem. Thanks for your help. Tom

Answer
Hi Thomas,
MG didn't have any oil coolers in the radiator so that is out. I did once see a oil cooler mounted at the oil filter, that had antifreeze to and from it. I think it was an aftermarket item. I never seen one from MG. If you don't have one of these coolers on the side of your engine then you need to look at a possible cracked head or block or head gasket problem. The head gasket is the most likely. Cracked head second and cracked block third most likely.
