Well it looks more like caramel vanilla or something... and my valve cover gasket caused the fluid to leak all over my cleaned head.

now my timing belt is soaked :mad: but the radiator fluid is still ok
so how did I get the coolant into the oil and not the other way around.

why would you want antifreeze, or radiator fluid, in your oil? Sounds like you need a new head gasket.

Scratch that. Not a new head gasket, just valve cover gasket. But still, why would you want antifreeze in your oil?

I did replace the head gasket... the vlave cover gasket leaked I gesss cause of the boiling radiator fluid.

I'ts getting less and less though, so I think I just may have spilled some when removing the head the first time.

woo hoo. all the oil burning i used to get when my old head gasket was on is gone... you should see the build up of oil on my exhaust pipe. anyways the coolant in the oil has dissapated... and there is still no oil in the coolant... I'm finally happy... I also did some manifold porting where the weber sits and it was a big help.
