Oil in coolant but no coolant in oil?
I looked online and it's too broad of an issue so I thought I'd check with some 323 guys to see if you guys can help me pinpoint the cause. As the title says oil in coolant but no coolant in oil. The car runs great so I wouldn't think a head gasket but idk. Any help is appreciated tia.

No oil cooler on the DX with the sohc B6. Bad head gasket is the likely cause. Was the motor over heated?Comment

Not that I know of. The guy before me said he never had any problems with the car. Is there a way I can test if the head gasket is shot?1987 Mazda 323 DX 1.6l 5 spd, KYB Exel-G struts w/ stock coils, hybrid cai, cut exhaust, custom 5 blade fan upgradeComment

It also never seems to get warm. Idk if that has anythi g to do with head gaskets. It's cold when I drive but as soon as I stop the needle climbs to the middle of the gauge.1987 Mazda 323 DX 1.6l 5 spd, KYB Exel-G struts w/ stock coils, hybrid cai, cut exhaust, custom 5 blade fan upgradeComment

If so then you have a bad tranny cooler in the radiator and your tranny may have some coolant contamination.

Whats the radiator look like. That just looks like a coolant reservoir that has had the same coolant in it for 18 years

It's not though. I did a flush and put all fresh coolant in not long ago.1987 Mazda 323 DX 1.6l 5 spd, KYB Exel-G struts w/ stock coils, hybrid cai, cut exhaust, custom 5 blade fan upgradeComment
