it is definitely not the headgasket. The symptoms do not match. It that was the case, the coolant overflow resvoir would be low and misfires/ overheating would be a concern.

Are there any more symptoms that you can describe? Also the A/C does not seem like the root cause. separate system.

Is it consist in Reverse? like everytime you shift into reverse? only on cold starts? car warmed up?

the thing is when I got my spark plugs replaced domes of the old plugs were clogged with oil inside. That's why I thought it maybe the head gasket.

i did however have an AC issue where I had to replace the entire radiator and the pipe connected from the radiator to the engine.

what about you?

If that is the case, the oil would be coming due to valve cover to spark plug tube seals being bad.

the radiator and A/C system do not share anything in common either. They are separate sealed systems. The A/C system has a condenser, which may look like a radiator or common hear exchanger, but chances are, they did not replace the radiator, more likely the condenser.

I would suggest taking the vehicle to a dealer, I believe earlier in the thread you said you scanned the vehicle and no codes were present correct?

i had to buy the radiator not the condenser and that was what I replaced to fix my AC.

As far as codes nothing.
