If enough mixes, yes. There's a remote possibility that you dripped coolant into the oil after the last time it was shut down.

In all likelihood you're fine, but with Dexcool being the color it is, who can say for certain what your problem is over the internet. Find out where the coolant is going.

I have only had the car a week so that's what was in it. Does anyone know how I can tell where the coolant is going? It probably looses 1/2 an inch every 2 days maybe.
Also I looked in the top of the rad and there was like a rannow tint on the top. I don't know if that is supposed to be there or not. The previous owner has changed the heads before so I don't know if that would be residue or what.
What should I do?
