I have a 2003 Prado with a 1KZTE diesel and manual transmission. I find oil in the overflow reservoir floating on the coolant. I changed the oil and filter and there was no sign of coolant in the oil. I had the oil cooler replaced but not the oil cooler cover. Problem persists. Engine runs fine, no power loss or roughness. No bubbles visible when I remove the radiator cap. No engine overheating, temp gauge reads normal.
I'm leaning towards either a bad head gasket or the oil cooler cover being bad. Has anyone experienced this problem? Any suggestions based on actual experience with this engine?
