Noticed when I took oil cap off today after running the 5 that there seems to be water in my oil! Here's a few pics

Also noticed the radiator seemed to have steam coming out of the plastic sides near to the oil cooler cud this be the cause? There doesn't seem to be any in header tank but I think I'm loosing abit of coolant. Any ideas?

I wish I'd of done it now and not the b18 but we will see in a couple of weeks how it turns out.. If I don't like the b18 then at least I can use the adaptronic on the f7r you know I get bored very easily :)

I'd pressure test it first and see if you spot any leaks before you write off the engine mate.
My guess is like you have already said, the rad has a slight crack into the oil cooler :agree:
