when we first got our '90 Legacy, the coolant res. had a white milky sustaince in it. it ended up just being the type of coolant that was used in it before. isn't the chocolate milk color what you have to worry about? have you tried changing the oil and then seeing if it comes back? and are you loosing coolant or is it just over heating?
I have the MLS gasket. You still think it's breached?
Well, if you've been loosing coolant and can't find the leak, then it's been going out of your tailpipe. It probably just finally got bad enough to breach into the oil.
isn't the chocolate milk color what you have to worry about
Straight water takes a lot longer to mix with oil than antifreeze. It'll show up as gooeycondensation at the top of the engine first (in the valve cover and on the bottom of the oil cap. Soon there will be enough that it'll show up on the dipstick above the oil. In time, it will permiate the oil and go "chocolate milk".
What is Loosing? You mean losing? Losing and Loose are two different things! Sorry to sound mean but I'm not trying to.
Read through my other posts. I type fast and often post without proofreading first. I'll only go in and edit for gross errors that truly affect the way it may be percieved. You and everyone else knew exactly what I meant, despite hitting the"o" keyone too many times.
