Water in my oil...?

[mylillooker]

So what am I looking at here? Where do I need to start? Is it a head gasket? A water pump? Where do I start first? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Hey Mario,
Did the car overheat prior to this discovery? Anything else unusual. Could be as simple as a head gasket, but could be more serious too.

Or it could just be condensation. What does the oil look like on the dipstick? Noticed any white smoke out the tail pipe lately?

You can try doing a pressure test on the cooling system.
Any leaks should show up.

You could try emailing the Louisville BSCC club to see if anyone has a pressure test you can borrow.

Is the entire oil pan full of milky stuff? Or, do you just see it around the filler cap on the rocker cover? If the pan is full of milky stuff, you (obviously) have problems. If it is just around the filler area, it may simply be condensation from sitting.

Milky oil not good, do not run. If it is indeed milky prob from the head gasket. Lots of other things places it could come from but that or water pump is most obvious.
