Blown headgasket, cracked head. Change your oil, and put in go buy some ChemiWeld. Problem solved....for 2 months.

ahhh.... it means that your cars water is mixing in with the oil somewhere. Your fucked! (to put it bluntly)

If you have a standard sluggish pile of shit motor i suggest you just go buy another one for $350.

If the motor has had some work (ported, pistons, etc) then read on:

As already stated it can mean a few things. What you need to do is take the head off and take it to a head reconditioner and see what they say. With any luck they tell you its fucked. That way you dont have to go to the trouble of putting the head back on with new gaskets and shit then find out its the bottum end thats fucked. If they say its fucked then there are some places that can repair heads. If its actually worth reparing. the costs to fixing it might outweigh just buying a new one and modifing it. My head was ported and polished so i had it fixed. My cam tunnel was fucked and it had a few small hairline cracks. Its good now. $450 bucks later Sad

I suggest that when or if you have your motor out that you check the condition of your timing chain tensioner. Mine broke and now its going to cost $700 to fix the cunt!

Good luck!
