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 your oil is "creamy" it indicates the presence of water. Change the oil right away, and check it after running the car for a while. Water in your oil is no good.

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.

oil moisture
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
