Sounds like a classic headgasket problem (rupture in gasket between coolant hole and oil hole). It's not a good idea to drive the car since the lack of viscosity of the oil/water sludge won't protect the moving parts in the engine. When it happened on my Mustang, I was able to do the job in a weekend (and you'd laugh at my tool collection..).

Hzl: I looked at your forum, but didn't see a link to your paypal account?

<< Damn!

If you were closer to me, I'd fix it.

The gasket itself is only ~$40.

Awww Thanks. I appreciate that. My dad has a truck we can use to haul it, but he's working 6 days a week at the moment. My cousin has a truck I might be able to use, but it's a total gas hog. lol But, my dad's vacation is in August and I don't want to wait that long to get it fixed, so I may just ask to use my cousin's truck. I'm not sure yet.

Awww You're a sweetheart! Thank you, Joe.

Astaroth33 - I was going to try and drive it up there, but with it as bad as it is...I won't drive it anywhere. So....that's why we're hauling it. lol My paypal acct is hzl_eyed_grl@yahoo.com. I wish you all lived close so I could have some kind of dinner for all you that have helped me. We could party the night away. heehee

Let us hope not too much coolant got into your engine. I had a head gasket blow and coolant seeped into my oil, making it frothy and smelly. Got the thing apart and my cylinder walls required honing, my piston rings needed replacing, and my crankshaft had to have all the journals repolished and new bearings installed. Quite an extra expense.

That's kind of how it is. It's kind of a reddish mud-type substance too. lol Really healthy for the car, of course.
