might be time to remove the heads and put in new head gaskets. Looks like again seeing that you have already had them off before.

this motor was just built in may i hope not.

for you i hope not too. It could be that one of the head bolts are not sealed up all the way allow coolant from the passage to seep into your oil.

That is usually just condensation. occurs during warming and cooling of the engine. short trips will cause it too. I would not worry about it.

May or may not be a problem. Water can collect there if the the engine oil wasn't brought to operating temperature and run long enough to allow the condensation in the oil to 'boil' off. If you don't have water on your dipstick or in the oil upon draining it you should be okay.

A pressure check of your cooling system is the proper way to check for a head gasket or other problem.

Condensation..you are fine.

To the bit about the Head Gasket..pull your skirt up and carry on.

I used to see this at work all the time this time of year (a lube express)...especially during humid times/radical changes in weather in where you live, along with what kind of oil you use.

We saw this a lot with penzoil, quaker state, and castrol products way more often when compred to others such as mobil, valvoline, and havoline.

What type of oil do you happen to be using?
