You probably have a blown head gasket, thus letting the water from the radiator get into the oil. In the worst case, you could have a damaged cylinder head gasket or a cracked block. That would cause oil to be found in your coolant as well as water in your oil. More commonly, a bad pcv valve or rocker arm cover gasket is to blame. What kind of car is it. On some cars it is very common and is not a problem at all.

Where is the transmission dipstick located on a 1995 Eagle Summit LX wagon?

If your Eagle still has the Diagram sticker on the underside of the hood, this should explain exactly where the transmission dipstick is located. For the purpose of disclsure, it is a smal,l ususally white, plastic ball about a half inch in diameter on the lower left of the transmission as viewed from the engine compartment. Yo need to reach down to the left. The white plastic ball looks like a plug rather than a traditional ringed dipstick handle. Theres the confusion. This is a bit of a bugger when the engine is hot and or running. CAUTION!
