oil in antifreeze
Lost oil pressure today. Checked my dipstick, and it's low. Noticed antifreeze overflow looked dark. When I opened, it was full of motor oil. Please help.

There is no antifreeze in oil. Hoped that meant it wasn't head gasket or intake manifold.

Just above the oil filter, there is a large hose that runs to the radiator and overflow. Thought maybe radiator could be culprit.

X3 Pretty common on the earlier modular engines, especially when they get that many years on 'em.
