Ok, my buddies cobra had a thick brownish liquid in his radiator. I took it out and it was oil. I don't see any oil coolant lines coming/going from the transmission nor the engine. I drain the transmission fluid and it looked fine. I didnt have time to check the engine fluid cause it was getting dark. I know someone has had this problem before. What could it be?

Is it an automatic? also, if it is, does the transmission have cooling lines running through the radiator?

All cobras are either 5 or 6 speed manuals.

x2 Sounds exactly like a headgasket. Is the car overheating?

^^ you sir are wrong.



does sound like motor oil. do a compression test to see what that shows.
