Oil in coolant
Accidently poured a qt of oil in coolant overflow in my 17 Z06. Thought I had sucked most of it out but I now have a milky mess on my hands. Is this something a flush/degreaser can fix or should I take it to a mechanic? What damage may have already been done? Radiator etc? Any advise would be extremely helpful and before the insults fly I’m older and I’m worried this may be the beginning of something.

need to flush the entire radiator system out. try finding a local radiator rrepiar shop to see what they would recommend. if it was me I would remove the hoses overflow and radiator and flush it all out with hot water and alcohol then reinstall and fill and see how it looks.
