2005 C230K water in oil HELP
I the oil I'm my 05 c230k is pretty milky, and theres oil in my coolant resivor, the car has 124 thousand miles on it, and it runs and drives great. I just bought it so, I dont know the service history. Any ideas on what I should do? I hear it can be seals behind the timing cover? Or the oil cooler gasket? Thanks

One thing I did though was flush the coolant with just water and change the oil, that seemed to remedy the problem, then the additives and glycol in the coolant doesn't create a sludge when it mixes, it just evaporates off. As a last ditch effort, maybe try a good stopleak in the coolant and do a fluid change.

Theres an oil cooler bolted to the back of the block right above the starter, you have to pull out the starter and like extensions and I joints together to try to unbolt the oil cooler, the gasket in there can fail and cause cross contamination. I wasn't able to get it off because of how the bell housing blocks one of the bolts. Another place to try is seals behind the timing cover can leak. Or it could be a head gasket. I really just gave up on my car, so I sold it to someone who had the means to fix it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
