What does it mean if there's oil in my radiator?
Means you have a leak between the oil system and the cooling system. Probably means you also have coolant antifreeze in your oil... check the dipstick for water contamination. That's a worse problem.This is bad and is a sign that the walls between the coolant and lubrication system have corroded through (from depleted coolant - too old) or your engine block is cracked from freezing or severe overheating. Both oil and coolant travel through passageways in the block and the walls between them can be thin. Another possibility is a head gasket failure.This is not a totally uncommon ocurrence I have heard, and to fix Head gasket is not too bad but the corrosion or cracked block will likely be expensive. Continuing to drive this way will eventually destroy the engine totally (it's not that far from there now, even though it may be running). The watery oil will foam and be ineffective. the metal parts will rust and eventually the engine will seize as the hole gets bigger and the leak worse.
Why is transmission fluid in my coolant?
Mike Allen hit the nail on the head.The transmission cooler “lives” inside one of the tanks of your radiator. Most modern radiators have end tanks. Older cars have the tanks on the top and bottom. Regardless, you can tell where the tranny cooler is by looking for a pair of steel lines that enter the tank. The tranny cooler is the only interface where coolant and tranny fluid could possibly be intermixing.In order to fix your problem the radiator will have to be replaced; the tranny cooler is built integral to the radiator and not a separately replaceable component. It will no doubt be strongly suggested you flush and replace the transmission fluid …possibly replace the fluid filter …and flush and replace the coolant. This might cost the better part of $1000 …like 6 or 700 …depending on how expensive the radiator is.And like Mike suggested you need to get it fixed. I’ll go one better …like yesterday.
What is difference between clutch fluid and brake fluid? Can we use same fluid for both (clutch & brake) master cylinder?
Its BRAKE fluid (sorry) and its used for brakes as a hydraulic power transfer medium. When you hit the brake pedal or pull the brake lever the fluid flows through and pushes the brake piston and calipers onto the disc, thus employing braking action.Clutch fluid is actually brake fluid used for engaging cluth via hydraulic action.And yes they are both are the same i.e, brake fluid is used as clutch fluid too. Just differ in the application.
Why do my hazard lights work, but not my turn signals?
Hazard lights and turn signals use the same bulb, so it is not the bulb, the lamp, or the cables to them. Turn signals only work when the ignition is on; hazard lights work whether the ignition is on or not. The two systems have separate power supplies, so they have separate fuses. You may have a blown fuse.Different vehicles use different circuits, and it is not possible to accurately diagnose the fault with the small amount of information provided. You need a circuit diagram and a voltmeter, and a continuity tester. First locate and test the turn signal fuse. Do you have voltage to and from the turn signal switch?The hazard light switch is not a simple on/off switch. In the “on” position, a fused battery feed connects to left and right turn signal. In the “off” position, the left turn switch wire is connected to the left turn lamp and the right turn switch wire is connected to the right turn lamp, so there are 3 inputs and 2 outputs.The fault could be a fuse, turn signal switch, hazard switch, flasher unit, or a broken wire or connection.
