Do you drive your car short distances? if so this will happen and it is not coolant... check the dipstick.. if the oil looks like that then yes you have issues.. if not then dont worry about it

No I honestly have coolant disappearing, that is a lot of buildup!

Eh already has a hotcam, I'm broke. I do have a CC503 and some local ported heads laying around, but not worth the trouble right now. $250 in gaskets, waterpump, oil and plugs sounds like a quick and affordable fix to me.

Well time to go tear it down! Also does anyone want to buy my three point edelbrock strut tower bar? I'm tired of removing the thing!

I just finished my 24x setup, what a pain in the *** this car is being this month!

and if you look closely you can see another one in post #5.


When I worked on a new v6 caddy its oil cooler in the lifter valley failed. Its actually a small $300 dollar radiator that routes coolant underneath the 3 piece intake. So when a banjo bolt on that radiator strips out then you will have coolant in the oil just like that. That looks like there is a bunch of coolant in the oil. So its most likely a head gasket.

Use the thinner gasket to up your compression a little.

Short trips that don't allow the engine to reach operating temps don't burn off the ambient crankcase moisture effectively. If this is done on a daily basis long enough, you can begin to sludge up the crankcase and PCV system.
