MF 365 oil in coolant

[Macsky]

Have a reasonably low houred 365 in pretty original condition that we’re thinking of selling, but it’s showing a fair bit of oil on the coolant, I’m assuming this is a head gasket? Is this an easy enough job to sort?

Ok.........................

It'll not be a leaking liner.......they're dry sleeves.......

they can slip.................................................

then have some one pressure test the cooling system....................
or check the exhaust gas for traces of glycol, and the coolant for traces of NO2.............................................................

Is there a cooler on a 365?

Good question.

390 has an oil to air cooler in front of the radiator, probably something like that in 365 too.

Think that's the transmission oil cooler. 390T has the cooler on the engine oil filter housing.

I would expect to see it at the base of the oil filter, but there doesn’t seem to be one.

Can you do all that with a socket set and a hammer? ?

Not in the rad
I'm assuming there is a small cooler behind the rad

The cooler by the filter is on turbo engine only as far as I know

No engine oil cooler on a 365.

crack in the block somewhere

 

[Macsky]

Any easy ways of diagnosing between cylinder head and block?

Drain the coolant. Put radiator flush in as many times as needed to clean the system. Refill with antifreeze mix. I bet it will be ages before you see any oil contamiation.
