"checked the oil and there was a bunch of white milky stuff on the dipstick thus my guess is headgasket."
Head gasket or something worse...yep. Drain the oil and take a look, flush it, and refill. Run a compression test, simple to do and might tell you something. I dont know what the compression numbers should be off handd, but if you have a cylinder with a drastically lower number than the others, you know you have a problem.
However, if you drive a LOT of short distances, condensation can build up in the oil, because the engine is never getting to operating temp, and staying there to burn off the condensation. Hence the question from Saab4Life.
Its not all that hard to pull the head though so you can really see whats going on.
