Toyota 8FGC35U:
Have some oil in coolant

Looking for some help troubleshooting an issue with a Toyota 8FGC35U - LP engine. It looked like there was a little bit of moisture in the engine when I took off the oil fill cap. So I checked the dip stick and the oil looks normal. No smoke from the exhaust. No leaks around the engine. The coolant looked a little oily though. So we drained the radiator and oil separated to the top and I'm wondering how it got in there and if I have an issue.

Your hyd cooler is leaking oil into the cooling system internal side of the radiator. Have to replace radiator and stat. Flush out good or you will chase soft hoses a year later.
To verify there should be 4 hoses to your tanks on the radiator. 2 per side. Air cleaner side is for hydraulic.
