So not too long ago my 2019 ram Big Horn with a 5.7 hemi V8 it's gas engine, just suddenly without any lights or change in driving or function I came out of a store to notice a sludge like substance coming out from under the front passenger side of the truck. Upon opening the hood I realized that it was coming from my coolant reservoir appear to be oil mixed in with the coolant I then proceeded to check the oil which was completely gone hence the reason evidently it was in my coolant there is none going into the oil and I am curious as to where the oil cooler location is is it the smaller radiator in front of the radiator or is it the oil filter housing underneath the passenger side I've seen information giving both of those as the oil cooler and would like some more definitive answers please help sincerely woman working on a truck
 
Some versions have an intercooler in the lower radiator hose with oil lines connecting to the filter base. If that's your case, it's not too hard for DIY replacement. Flush the cooling system thoroughly afterward and refill oil and antifreeze. If you're lucky and caught it in time, should be good as new.
