I have a thick black oil(sludge like)in my radiator expansion tank and other water pipes. My local mechanic cannot determine if it is the Head gasket or turbo. has anybody got any ideas. I am sending to Volvo for opinion but car is getting old and money is very tight.The oil in the engine is fine. I have lost no oil. No signs of water in the engine oil. This is actually causing bad circulation of water and hence over heating.

it's probably the turbo if there's not any water in the oil
