If your Detroit 60 oil leaks on the back, take it to a mechanic for repair as soon as possible.
first you must determine what is actually contaminating the coolant,usually in the detroit series 60 engine it is fuel oil,usually caused by faulty injector cups!
Yes it can. Depending on the location of the oilways and the design of the head, oil can leak into a cylinder bore or out and down the side of the engine.
You either have a head gasket leaking,or a cylinder liner leaking.I can't remember if the series 60 has a gear driven water pump,I think it does, if it is gear driven it can leak through the water pump as well,( through the front cover).If it is not the water pump the best thing to do is to drop the oil pan and pressure test the cooling system.You will be able to see where it is coming from.If you are not positive where it is coming you should have the head pressure tested in case it is cracked.

The coolant will normally leak into the oil or into the cylinder
Yes, if it is blown near an oil galley.
An oil leak.
most likely a blown head gasket, cracked head, or bad intake gasket. with the s series. i would venture to say blown head gasket.

Oil in the coolant tank indicates a head gasket leak.
Not to fear, it is not, was not the head. Replaced the oil seal on the crank, no more oil leaks. Cost: $40, parts and labor.
