Thats what im hoping can sort that out myself just want to no if it could be something else

Well, unless some has been playing pranks and connected your oil lines to your coolant lines then the most likely culprit would be a head gasket surely?

It won't mean it is scrap if you love it, but it will cost a few quid to fix if it is the head gasket.

I got a 4.6 V8's head gaskets done for £950 including skimming. But that is very cheap.

You can remove the head (and ancillaries to get to it), fit a gasket, re-fit the head (all of this being the absolute minimum of course), but you don't know what else it could be......?

Its a longshot but didn't some mercs have combined coolant radiators and oil coolers? It might have only been some of the fast models, hence the oil cooler.

Well it could be a cracked block but gaskets are more common.

If it's just a bit of yoghurt in the filler cap, it might just be condensation. A long drive and a few burst of high revs should sort that out.

Dont think its a cracked block no oil dripping on the floor
