Car mixes engine oil with Antifreezer to cool the engine and to cool Engine OIL going to the Engine.
Problem: Engine OIL is coming up to Antifreezer bottle, Mechanics suggested that OIL Cooler PUMP is damage.
Where is the OIL Cooler PUMP?

i think you have an oil cooler...that isnt mixed with antifreeze....oil in antifreeze is a big nono.

best i can say is crawl under the car and follow the lines.

if you cant find anything that isnt like an electric pump or on any belts...gonna have to get a mechanic to do it...mechanic friend would be cheaper.

Thanks, I have found the OIL cooler. Right on top of OIL filter. VW vehicles use this cooler to cool down the oil going from oil pan to engine. From time to time this OIL cooler goes south and it needs replacement. It is an expensive part, but it is recomended to buy a new one.
