Suzuki: engine troubles, blown head gasket, radiator coolant


Question
hi i have an 01 suzuki swift its automatic and 4 cyl it appers as though my oil has run out and is mixed into my radiator coolant. it seems like there is no anti-frezze in my oil though. is there anyway that this isnt a blown head gasket? if you have any other ideas or guesses i would love to hear them thank you

Answer
Based on the description you give, I can only think of four possibilities - A defective oil cooler (oil/coolant heat exchanger), a cracked engine block, a cracked cylinder head, or a blown head gasket.  Obviously the oil cooler, if it is equipped with one, and the head gasket are the least expensive.  Short of disassembly and pressure testing, there are no other reliable means of testing the oil cooler, head and block.  It's usually possible to see where the head gasket failed, if that's the cause.
