Checked the oil today in the car. Has been sitting since October with just start ups to pull the car in and out of the garage. The oil looks almost like coffee that has cream added to it. I did check the coolant and it looks normal, color is still green and the level is normal. I changed the oil just before i parked it. Any ideas?

water or condensation sounds like what caused it if your coolant isnt the culprit

There is no way condensation killed that much oil. The radiator might look good. How long did the car run for? If you just moved it and didn't let it warm up then the fluid never circulated. If the car has just been sitting and you are having this problem its not likely a head gasket but a cracked water jacket.

is a slight possibility of a head gasket if it was smoking also, but I agree with the cracked water jacket theory, if it was running fine when you parked it, and all you did was start it up and pull it out, you probably need a new head on one side, maybe both

My oil looked like chocolate milk from condensation (motor was in the car for 2 weeks outside with the heads off (towels over the motor and hood close, but its exposed to the moisture in the air. Changed out the oil and was good to go.

I was not saying it isn't impossible just not likely. With your heads off like said I can probably see it then, but not all buttoned up. LOL. Funny story. First time I did a heads and cam swap I pulled the hood, had everything cleaned up ready to put the new heads on and bam it started to rain. That sucked. Anyway sorry for the side track.
