Coolant in the Oil
Ok well about a week ago my truck was having starting problems when it was warm(after id been driving around for a while) I checked the oil yesterday and there was coolant in the oil, does this mean I have a cracked engine block and need a new engine? If not then a little help please.

probably the intake gaskets, notorious problamatic issue. if you havent drove it much you may get away with replacing the gaskets. if you drive it you will burn up the bearings from lack of oil. My wifes Burb locked up (didn't find it until it was to late) my current truck bought it with "ALL" of the rods knocking, same deal gaskets went bad. change the oil and get an oil pressure reading, "use a real guage, not an electric" that will tell you what to do next.
