Cooling system (please help)

[Supersport0126]

Just put in a new alum. Rad. And I been having a problem with oil (motor or p/s) mixing with the coolant! Can someone tell me if I can just remove the p/s cooler lines and just splice them together? My coolant reservoir also gets all mucky, but the engine oil is fine! Is this most likely the p/s cooler? And is it ok to bypass it? Thanks

You can bypass it or replace it with a small tube and fin style cooler. I mounted a cooler in front of my steering rack and was able to use the stock hoses.

Is the p/s mixing with the coolant a common problem with these?
