Understood, however I would ask you to also consider something from a staff member's point of view. Large amounts of information are currently contained in the stickies, and yet people continue to overlook it and post new threads that are already answered by said stickies. How much time would you want to spend on something that few people care to read?

There is also a group of people on this site that become offended when told to "read the stickies above for the answer".

It's a difficult balancing act, especially as the older crowd moves away and the yonuger crowd moves in. It's impossibile to make everyone happy.

Thanks Ls6427, I follow your #12 to clean out oil from radiator. I just check on radiator cap out. There has a lot of oil in radiator. I did check the oil dipstick@ls1 motor, no show mix water/radiator. I wonder, where the oil got into radiator?
I ll check on transmission or power steering dipsticks.

It's most likely your power steering cooler. You'll want to remove or replace it ASAP. You should also check your PS Fluid level. It's probably low.

This thread is 2+ years old. Thanks for using the search but please don't bump threads this old as most users in them are not as active as they use to be and will not see your replies
