Mitsubishi Repair: mitsubishi diamante 2003, mitsubishi diamante, head gasket

Question
there is a burning smell, when I checked the oil it looked like it had coolant in it??

Answer
Christine: When you drive your car, is the smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe in the back of the car, white? Does the car use water, is it heating temp wise? Does it have a lot of power or not much? Your car is pretty new have a weak head gasket that would be one way to get coolant in the oil, so someone might have put coolant in the oil as to putting the coolant in the wrong place. But either way, I would be getting my car into a shop, getting that oil changed and see what the shop tells you. If you got an Sears garage close by they would be a good one to get to check your car or else take it back to a dealership. But this checked out like right away! Hope this helps and God bless: Linda
