Default Re: Oil and overheating

Fill up your radiator - start the truck and look in the radiator and see if you have any bubbles or oil film - if you do you will know where your oil is going and why your radiator suddenly is leaking along with the oil loss. If I remember correctly you stated the truck hadn't run for 5 years - if it wasn't put "to bed" correctly you may have a leaking head gasket - which in turn will cause overheating. Overheating causes bigger problems.
