New water pump, thermostat, seals, and belt on order. Obvious signs of antifreeze leak on the bottom of the motor. No water in the oil but coolant was frothy. Gonna check the oil cooler and vacuum test the whole system. Previous owner had a bottle of antifreeze in the trunk. Gonna assume the coolant leak has been ongoing.

How prone to failure is the oil cooler? Internal leaks usually oil to water or water to oil?
