Would a coolant leak in the head gasket between the coolant passage and the oil passage cause the cooling system to not build up pressure?

if you have antifreezecoolant in your oil you need to tow your car to get it fixed

What is the mileage of your vehicle? Does it leak coolant on the floor when parked? if the answer is no, consider the possibility of a leaking head gasket. a simple way to check would be opening the radiator cap with the car running, but not hot or at normal temp,but not cold either. basically you want no pressure in the cooling system during this check. if you get bubbles only with the car running,it means the head gasket is probably shot and is leaking compression into the cooling system. or if you have coolant in the oil, then the breach is from high pressure coolant passage to an oil return that is normally separated by the head gasket but is now been breached. or just try a cooling system pressure test with the engine off and the plugs out to see if coolant leaks into the combustion chamber or even if you hear hissing from the oil cap opening.

Why is there a cooling hose on the oil filter housing on a 2.5 l v6 Mazda 626 1997?
its there to keep the oil temperature down.The coolant circulates in the housing in its own separate passage taking away the heat from the oil to the rad to be cooled of by fresh air.

Why is your 95 Mercury Villager heater blowing cold air?
We have a 2000 Villager which blows cooler air while idling, and then warms up when the engine speed increases. I talked to our mechanic and he thinks the cooling system may need to be flushed - the heat comes from warm engine coolant circulating through the heater core. If the cooling system is flushed and the passage ways in the heater core are reopened allowing warm coolant to flow freely, that may solve our problem. I'll have this done, and do a second post with the results.
