Just changed the oil in one of the Hurricanes and while I didn't notice the old oil looking like chocolate milk, I peeped into the oil res and saw a trace of milkyness running across the surface of the brand new oil.
Obviously this isn't a sustainable condition, so what are my next steps? To my knowledge, the water pump seal, head gasket, or cracked engine are my most likely culprits. I know where to get a new engine, but I'd really rather not if I don't have to, so where do I go from here? If i have to change the head gasket, that's fine, but I'd have to pull the engine to do it I think, and at that point in time, I'd spend less time putting a new engine in wouldn't I?
