So the jetta had a low coolant light on went to fill it up and check for leaks. and a nice oily brew cam up in the radiator, checked the dipstick and itsa nice milk chocolate color :bang Oil cooler? head gasket? any other possibilities? 140ish k on the car
 
Mods? On car? Usually the heads don't have gasket issues... But I wouldn't put it pasted em if there was big mods on it... I'd check out tdiclub and ask some gurus on there before tearing into it
 
I wouldn't see it causing a head gasket issue but if your boost spikes are hard enough/ long enough it may very well be, my 06 would spike to 35 and stay for a few seconds til it dropped..
 
I'd say start with the oil cooler. Head gaskets aren't a common issue.
