As far as the milky oil it could be air being mixed with it somewhere or it could also be water.
Best thing to do would be a pressure test on the cooling system.
Sorry but this is wrong.


My vacuum pump started making very loud noises in the past month or two. Never did this in the almost three years of owning the truck. They ended up hearing the noise and replaced the pump that same day. Got my truck back from the dealer, and haven't heard the noise since.


Milky oil always seems to mean water. Admittedly, I hadn't taken the truck down the highway, or any long trips for a couple of weeks before noticing the milky oil, so I think the replies are correct. I just needed to get it out there and drive it, get it nice and hot and let it all evaporate.

I changed the oil all but 1000 miles ago.

Keep an eye on it - if it goes away once the weather warms up, nothing to worry about. If it sticks around you've got issues. If you are concerned, get your oil analyzed.

It really is that simple.
I have been sending my oil to Blackstone Labs. Each time they've found just a little bit of fuel, but they mention it's negligible. The viscosity and volatility for my oil comes back a little below the normal range, but not by far. I will continue to monitor.

^^ Depending how much you were into boost (compounded by the short trips not allowing the oil the get hot enough to 'boil' off the water and volatiles), it won't take long before even a tiny amount of fuel - and smell of same - is noticeable.
