Or could be the fuel cooler leaking diesel into the coolant. Favourite though is the oil cooler which is bolted the engine block below the exhaust manifold. If you dont run with suffcient antifreeze they rot from the inside out.

I agree with Shifty - I'm on my third oil cooler, the second was my own fault as didn't have enough anti-freeze in her.

So how much antifreeze is a safe level for the oil cooler?

50% all the time...cos it has anticorrosive and lubrication purposes for the whole system

Cool Beans. New radiator about to arrive. So 50/50 mixture of red.

Yes red or orange OAT anti freeze in the TD5. 50/50 mix.
