HELP! my car is trouble

iM LOST. I thought my car might have a bad head gasket, because i have lost some power, it over heated, but there is no smoke, just the smell of burning oil and now the oil looks like a brown milk. i had recently replacxed the oil pan, could it be some of the glue in the oil?

If the oil looks like a chocolate milkshake, you're getting coolant in it from somewhere. Probably a blown head gasket, maybe a cracked head....
