ROVER 45 Oil in Expansion tank WHY?

You will most likely find coolant in the oil when you drain...Don't worry just carry out a oil and filter change :-)

Oil cooler/cooler pipes corrosion.when the oil cooler fails, oil enters the cooling system.Have you checked the pipes to the oil cooler.corrosion is a big issue on these models.Its a easy repair.Renew the cooler/pipes,flush the system,drain engine oil fit new oil filter and replenish the oil/coolant.

1st thing, You should have oil on dipstick. By not having any oil, you could seize the engine. oil in coolant, could be very serious. You need to get someone to find out why oil has got into it, could be cracked engine block, which could mean new engine.
