White oil residue in coolant expansion tank
Hello guys, I was checking for coolant level on my N46 and I was surprised to find traces of oil in coolant. I know that is as a result of oil mixing with coolant either in the Engine or the two oil coolers. I wanted to know if there's a way to check any of the two coolers if they are bad before I replace the bad one

I found some coolant droplets 💦 from eng.oil return line from cooler. The engine oil cooler gasket is intact. An suspecting my oil cooler is damaged. Now I know where to start from. Am happy it's not the trans oil cooler that is damaged. Am I correct to rule that my engine oil cooler is faulty since the 2 coolers only have one thing in common and that is the coolant. It's present in engine oil.
