    But my oil looked fine. When I dropped my coolant today, I dropped it into my oil tray, would of that made my copland look milky?

    Normally it's the oil becoming Milky which is a sign that water has mixed into the oil. Either coolent from gasket or water through intake.

    If you dropped your coolent into your oil Pan that would be the reason unless you had a brand
    New pan. Open the radiator cap and check overflow bottle and see how it looks

    Well oil dip stick and oil cap are fine. Pan was dirty from service about a month ago. Overflow was empty and dirty. Getting a new one as it seems hard and brittle.

    The black is oil from dirty pan, I've had car for round 2 years so I'm not sure of last coolant change. I did it yesterday.
