Oil in Radiator Cap

Independent said he found engine oil in the radiator fill area. Saw it myself, looked kind of tan. He said it could be head gasket or something else of a labor intensive nature..

It's currently at the dealership. What does this sound like? DC warranty should cover, along with the disintegrating supercharger pulley that was also noticed.

haters crazy
Could possibly be headgasket problem. You have any pics of what was in expansion tank? How much was in there? Any coolant in the oil? Good thing you have warranty. Did your car ever overheat?
