Default Audi A4 B5 1.8. Help here!

what might be the problem on my car, the oil from the engine is mixing with my coolant, but there are no coolant on my engine. The other problem is the coolant is overflowing. The low oil pressure light is on.

Help anyone?

Check the oil cooler. This is the aluminum thing that the oil filter screws onto when you do an oil change. The oil cooler is a heat exchanger between your engine oil and the engine coolant. Your problems seem to be consistent with this.

If oil is getting into the coolant through the oil cooler, the oil pressure is lost through the oil cooler (hence the light), additionally if the oil is going into the coolant lines from their, it's going to cause the coolant tank to overflow.
