Not sure how i should approach this problem. A mechanic confirmed that the coolant was going into the oil. To give you an idea of how faster. In 24 hrs a full overflow container gone plus the amount in the radiator, basically dry. Any ideas??

Is this in your TJ?
Some intake manifolds gaskets will leak coolant into your engine oil but I'm pretty sure the Jeep straight 6 will not.
Sometimes it's a head gasket but they usually don't leak coolant into your oil,
Worst case a cracked block or head.
But that is a lot of coolant is it all going into your oil?
Get a coolant pump and try to figure out where it is leaking from.
If you cannot find any external leaks start taking it apart.RCrocs #123 Brown CJ-5

time for a rebuild or new engine antifreeze (glycol) ruins an engine cause it resists oil causing no bearing lubing causing hot spots and spinning your bearingsComment

Get rid of good running 4.0 xj to buy a 2.5 TJ with a blown headgasket. Makes sense. O and I saw your old XJ the other day in Southington.
