[QUOTE="oldmodman, post: 14114892, member: 10303"] If you had leaked a lot of coolant into the engine before you changed the gasket you may have a coating of emulsified goo on the inside of the engine. It might take several oil changes before it is entirely gone. And after each oil change go on at least a one hour drive on the freeway with the AC on. You want to get your inside the block temps over 212 degrees to boil out all the water trapped in the old coating inside the block. If you still have milky oil in your drain pan after all that then you must still have a small water leak into the block area. And if you had oil in the cooling system it's even harder to get all of it out. It could take three or four complete flushes using a radiator flush to break down all the oil. [/QUOTE]
