1991 Honda Prelude leaking oil into coolant reservoir?

Prelude 2.0Si


It recently has been leaking a lot of oil and I have discovered it in my coolant reservoir. I have been told that it could be my head gasket, but I cannot afford a mechanic right now to make sure and repair. And would just like to possibly get some ideas of what it all possibly could be please. Thank you!1991 Honda Prelude leaking oil into coolant reservoir?

Head gasket is the right call.... oil is getting into the coolant there, and shows up in the coolant reservoir. Check your oil dipstick.... you should see the oil looking like chocolate milk. If that's the case, then head gasket is the problem.
is it a automatic , if so it can be the autocooler in the radiator that is leaking .





is the oil on the dipstick in the engine milky in colour





if head gasket was blown into coolant passage your engine would be running hotter than normal





also if it was the head gasket you would have trouble starting engine in the morning as one of the cylinders would have water in it ( water wont compress so engine wont turn over )
