My wife has a 2000 Intrepid 2.7. 128k miles I heard a tick when it was idling. I checked and put a little bit of oil in it and went for a drive. Ran fine for a while but started stalling out everytime i slowed down or came do a stop. Also noticed there was no heat. Got it home and noticed a small pool of oil underneath. Checked the oil dipstick and saw that there was a lot of coolant mixed in. Any suggestions?

Hello, coolant in the oil usually indicates an internal engine problem. Most of the time it can be traced to a blown head gasket worse a cracked head or block. The 2.7 engine also has water pump and timing chain issues. If the rest of the car is in good shape, it is worth getting checked out!
