Oil in my Antifreeze

In my 350 I was taking it out to put it in my other Camaro I had some problems.

First I have a 4 Barrel Carberator and whenever I stepped on the gas, gas poured out from under the Carb. I take that off and the gasket in brand new and looks great. What is wrong?

Second I have oil in my radiator / antifreeze. I have stripped the motor down and taken the heads off and everything else. My head gaskets are were new also. Nothing wrong with them. What could be causing this? Cracked block, cracked heads, rings? What?

The tranny cooler could have been leaking out from inside the rad.....

Usually when you get oil & antifreeze mixing you see "milk" in the crankcase when you pull the dipstick.....

If you didnt, you may have just torn it apart for nothing.

Well it isn't the tranny cooler becuase I have a 5-speed. Thanks for the information anyways. Know anything about the gas from under the carb?

Check the fuel lines going to the carb before ya go and take it apart, one may have slipped off or cracked, happens on my cutlass every now and then. As far as the oil in the antifreeze, check the dipstick oil for milk looking crud. Sounds like it's a head warped or cracked even.Did you overheat the motor recently?. Just a guess.:lala:

Well, I have already stripped the motor down to pure block because I am going to rebuild it anyways. Yes it did look like a milky substance from the radiator.

When I got the car my whole plan was for it to be a donar car, so I only drove it once when I got it. It never overheated but I don't know what the other guy did.
