Another oil in coolant thread....

[Terrence R]

Well, just like the other threads about oil in the rads, I too am a victim. Except, I'm wondering if it's from a base gasket leak that's allowing combustion gas and oil to enter the coolant jackets. See, I just installed a new base gasket on inspection of my top end. I left the head on, so the head leaking is potentially not the problem. There's no coolant in my bottom end oil. Any thoughts on if it's possible that it could be my base gasket? I accidentally torqued the base to 34 ft/lbs instead of 34nm.
