Your milky antifreeze is a bad thing. The broken bolt is the least of your worries at this point. What you've been told about removing it may be correct, but at the moment you need to start troubleshooting for a possible blown head gasket.
Flush the radiator fluild, put new in and run it for 20 mins and check the color of the radiator fluild. You could just have **** radiator fluid. Who knows the last time the radiator fluid was flushed???
