99 Cavalier 2.2L "oil looks creamy"
The oil seems creamy its strange like a chocalately color,
I dont if its because of the moisture from outside.
The car has a used engine with only 98k, new water, thermostat,
this car was only driven two times did not overheat, and parked about a month since then.
Im confused right now with the color of the oil..

Im thinking maybe the Headgasket is plugged where the coolant
passes, there was alot of oxidation when I flushed the engine.
Or maybe someone put water.
Possibly I have leaking Fuel Injectors.
If head gasket has gone bad it usually means the head is warped.
Meaning of these statements is beyond of my understanding.

if the oil has a milkshake look to it your probably in trouble. drain it out asap. and put fresh oil just buy cheap oil . if the milshake color returns or you see white sweet smelling exhaust smoke you probably have a bad head gasket or head. put fresh oil and let it run for a few minutes and check the oil while its running and if nothing comes in 20 min or so take it for a short drive and check afterwards if your in the clear keep a close eye on it. also if you get the milkshake oil again do a compression test on all the cylinders.and if you have dexcool (red/orange antifreeze) get rid of it and use the green stuff that dexcool eats gaskets. good luck keep us posted.
I have a similar issue on my 2003 (Ecotech 4 cyl) except it seems like the moisture is confined to the dipstick. When I check the oil there is a "glob" of milky oil at the top of the stick ( near the "full" mark). When I wipe it clean and recheck, the dipstick only shows oil on it. The Coolant level has not dropped in the past few thousand miles so I don't think I have a head gasket issue. Could it just be condensation running down the dipstick tube? I have a 2003 Alero with the same engine, but do not see this on the dipstick.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
