I don't think I recommend advising you if you do not know where the oil drain plug is. It sounds like your head gasket is leaking anyway. Oil in the overflow is head gasket.

found the drain easily and head gasket was not blown

just need the radiator drain plug now else will remove bottom hose

I'm sorry. I don't understand what you are asking--your garbled sentence structure and mis-used words make no sense...

oil in the water is either blown head gasket, cracked head, or a cracked engine block.

If you're having trouble draining water from your radiator...how did you check your head gasket?

the ONLY way to do it is to pull the head off.

you could try a compression check, but if the head gasket is sealing around the cylinders just fine, but leaking between a coolant and oil passage...that won't show up on any diagnostic check other than to remove the head.


--you COULD do a pressure check on your coolant system, which will only tell you if it holds pressure or not. it will NOT tell you where the pressure is leaking from, so you still won't know if it's a cracked head, blown head gasket or cracked engine block.
