I have a 6080 allis that seems to be allowing the coolant into the oil. In the past I have had to replace the oil cooler because of oil in the coolant. Is it possible that the oil cooler is the problem or a head gasket leak. Any past experience with this problem will be appreciated. Thanks

It could be either. Also could be leaking sleeve seals, electrolisys pitting on the sleeves. Can you get a block tester? If it had evidence of combustion gases in the coolant, that would be a strong indicator of a leaking head gasket.

Dr.Allis or MACK would be the best ones to ask here.
