I have an 03 polo 1.4 .
I found oil in the coolant bottle even though theres no oil cooler,
The cylinder head had just been refurbished 2 months ago with new gaskets all around .
Is there any were else that the oil can mix with the coolant and how can i fix this issue?

I can not think of any where else it could be getting into the water other than the cylinder head gasket, sorry.

I think that a garage could run a test to see if combustion gases are getting into the cooling system.
