Ford Falcon: Blown gasket

There is oil in the water of my 2005 Ford Falcon and I suspect it has a blown head gasket, can you tell me how much it will cost to be fixed?

Is there water in the engine oil when you remove the dipstick? If there is you could have a blown head gasket. If you did, however, I would expect the engine to be running poorly. Another check you could do is to remove the spark plugs and check for signs of water on them. A blown head gasket would cost around $700-$1000 to fix depending on the condition of the cylinder head. If you’re concerned about oil in the water, that is, in the radiator it could be that you have a problem with the auto transmission cooler. The coolers are a known problem with Falcons, and when they fail water gets into the auto transmission and eventually causes that to fail.
