18 months ago. Overheating, loss of coolant mainly as exhaust vapour, smell of coolant, top hose blown up so obviously suspected head gasket. Head removed, skimmed, pressure tested. Refitted with genuine gaskets and new head studs. Fine until 6 months ago when started needing coolant. Not overheating, not pressurising, not blowing up top hose or smelling of coolant. Now found coolant in oil. Is there anywhere for water to get into oil other than head gasket. Don't think it has a water type oil cooler???? Is there any where that goes porous ie like the perkins timing case. Any ideas?? Tia

It's a JD , just doing an impression of an electric kettle. Been there and done that, got the t-shirt and the bank balance. Premium product, proper crap. As you may realise I don't like John Deeres.

A Timbo said oil cooler, i had them housings rot though and dump the water on the floor before
Might also want to check the transmission oil cooler if its a water to oil cooler like the matbros had?

Do you keep radiator and fanblade clean?
Even a dust coating on radiator will act as insulation causing problems
