I hit a deer passenger side and after repairing all of it, i also replaced the oil cooler gasket while i was there. every 1k miles my coolant drops from h to just below the low mark in the coolant globe. I also have condensation on top of oil dipstick, and white residue now on the oil fill cap. I am going to check the cooler, but i would think that the oil pressure would be greater than the coolant, and i would get black in the coolant, bu that isn't happening. I has been 2k observing this and hopefully it wouldn't be the head gasket, i would think with the psi of a tdi it would blow pretty good. thanks for any input.
