Subject:oil in coolant
From:lp

I had my engine rebuilt a couple of months ago.  Ever since the rebuild,
there has been a little bit of oil in the coolant, just a skim or maybe a
thin layer of latte in the expansion tank.  There is no evidence of water in
the engine oil.

Can this be considered normal, ie, I am hoping that maybe this is a little
bit of oil that got into the cooling system & was left over when the rebuild
was done, and not a symptom of some problem.

Thought I'd check the opinion of the list before I go talk to the rebuilder,
who I am otherwise happy with.
