I checked the level of my oil the other day and found this on the end of the dip stick. By the looks of my pics does this mean I might have a leak in the head gasket?





I'm almost positive that is what it is but just would like some 2nd opinions.

Thank You.

 

does look a little milky colored. cant tell for sure from here. you can always run a compression test to check for a bad head gasket.

 

Did you take the oil cap off and look in there as well?

 

it does look like oil and coolant

 

You just stuck that up your nose didn't you? no clue, what have you done or being doing to your car lately?

 

Havent done anything to the car. But here are some pics of the oil cap. It has the same residue on it.

 

that might just be foaming

 

Coolant is mixing with the oil somehow. More than likely a head gasket and or craked engine block. Under warranty still?

 

yes it is.

 

Take it to a dealer and have them check it out. My guess is a headgasket.

 

Took the car in. The mechanic could not find the problem, so they are sending part of the engine off to GM. To have it pressure tested. Got a Pontiac G6 for a loner/rental ( all on GM). And all the repairs are covered under warranty.

 

This foaming residue is a classic case of crankcase moisture. Your PVC valve may not be evacuating the crankcase, and the moisture is foaming in the oil. have the crankcase vent system checked and I think you will find your problem. Good luck, Ken.

 

Called the dealership.
They (GM) is replacing the WHOLE engine. MR_Slobalt is a tech at the dealership that its at. He is going to do some P.I work and find out what went wrong.
