Do an oil change and see what happens.

Dont see why you would get the creamy build-up in there, that usually means tons of moisture got into the crankcase. Maybe it did just from having it opened up doing the seals.

More than likely a bad head gasket. I've never seen a case where you could get that much mositure in there from condensation.

Go ahead and change the oil and see where it leads, but keep an eye on your radiator at the same time. If you lose coolant, and see coffee oil again, you have your answer.

Ok oils good, but I thinks the uim gasket is leaking on the passenger side I just cant win. I took it for a ride to the car wash (bout 6 miles one way) came back opened the hood and steam or smoke. Looked down along fuel rail (pass side) and see a puddle down there so slamed the hood went in and grabbed a beer so what do you guys think?:thinking:
