The oil was actually OK, but the amount of foaming milkshake like stuff in the oil filler tube was disturbing. There was no coolant loss either. I pulled the head and there was nothing obvious, so I did a new HG for no reason. The engine would also burn oil and smoke out the exhaust pipe really bad when idling for about 5 minutes. I did a compression check and all cylinders were about the same and of good pressure. Turned out the large vacuum hose with the metal coolant line through it under the intake manifold was broken and I think it allowing cold air to be drawn in and causing massive condensation. It also must have made the fuel injection run rich and dump a lot of fuel to make it smoke while idling. I saved this car from the scrap yard again.
