Unhappy 2012 Chevy Equinox Milky Oil and Excessive Oil Consumption

Does anyone know what is going on with milky oil and excessive oil consumption on 2011 & 2012 Chevy Equinox. People are adding 2-3 quarts and more!! between oil changes, dealers are telling this is normal, it is not!!!! Please help, someone out there knows.

Cooling level is fine, no blue smoke from tailpipe. Please help someone with knowledge of the issue.

Milky oil means there is water getting into the oil. Usually it could be through a bad intake gasket or worse if it is a blown head gasket.

I have a 2012 equinox 4 cylinder with 122000 miles and the engine blew a week ago, turns out it was running out of oil between oil changes. I have tried to call chevy there was a warranty extension but only to 120000 miles so of course Im s*** out of luck. The estimated cost is 3000 in repairs which I can not afford. I will never ever buy chevy again and its sad my dad and grandpa worked for gm.
