Hello folks. I have a 1993 ranger 3.0 v6 4x4 automatic. I am getting coffee cream goop in my radiator. Engine and auto trans oil looks fine. I temporarily bypassed the trans cooler and drained the radiator. After time for the engine to cool each time i flushed it with dish detergent (regular strength dawn), filled wth water and there was less goop. I flushed it 4x total. 3rd time used a radiator flush cleaner to annihilate a few stubborn goop deposits . The goop returned after 10 minutes at an idle. The truck has never been overheated in the 3 years i have owned it. It runs well within normal temp range now too. Spark plugs look clean and no missing/misfiring is occurring. No coolant or water is in the oil and i have normal looking exhaust condensation for the 45-50 degree weather i am in. I am changing the oil today. In a senior moment i put 1.5 qts too much in. Drove it 150 miles that way. Can that go from crankcase to radiator??? Or...anyone thinking head gasget or worse? Thx johnnycash
