Intake leak, head gasket, or ????
Intake leak, head gasket, or ????
Hi, just removed my intake and cleaning my engine bay when i found this thick milky stuff in a small area in the block. Think it may be coolant from a leak somewhere, but hoping otherwise....what do you think? its not much, but it surprised me. Could this be from just an intake gasket leak (intake gaskets replacements were the original reason i took it apart). Thanks for your comments.

Milky oil is typically water/coolant in the oil.
Were you trying to link the photo from your computer? Try uploading it instead (assuming it isn't too large), or link it from a public-accessible site.

if you didn't tear the intake gaskets when you pulled the intake you should be able to see where the water was coming from. it will most likely be at the back of the engine. if it is water/oil it will be a beige color. you can check cylinder pressure to test for leaks there.
