Driving on the dual carriageway the other day and the lower radiator hose blew off.

It went into limp mode and I drive roughly 15 miles home.

When inspecting it to put it back on I noticed a considerable amount of oil in the hose and towards the radiator ( I'd put it between 100-200ml) potentially was more as I'm assuming it drained out on the 15 miles.


I'm not an expert but I'm assuming that there shouldn't be any or trace amounts only in the pipe?

Any idea on what could cause this or is this somewhat normal? It is now on 90k miles

Pictures attached, I can't see oil leaking from anywhere.
