Oh oh... Milky oil...



Are you using coolant?  Is it overheating?  Is it getting hotter than
normal?  How far do you drive it on a regular basis?  There is ONE small
chance that it isn't anything major and the answers to the above will
determine!!  IF it isn't overheating or getting hotter than normal, if you
aren't using any coolant, and if you don't drive it much you might just have
a condensation problem (like Beetles do).  Oh, and if your oil has a VERY
small amount of creaminess to it.  Is there any other way for water/moisture
to get into your car?  (i.e. snow melting, rain, etc.)  HTH!!
