    milky mixture when i check oil

    I just replaced a blown headgasket and got a brand new radiator, I'm in the process of cleaning all the old hoses with a coolant flush, as I'm doing the flush i checked the oil and it was all the milkshake mixture. Is this just leftover stuff that will come out when I drain everything? I did change the oil but that was before I did the flush

    There could have been some milkshake still in the engine. Change the oil again see if milkshake shows up.

    When you had the head off did you have it surfaced and checked for cracks? If all you did was replace the gasket you probably still have a head gasket leak and will have to have the warp removed from the head by surfacing.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      This is very true, I know from experience. If it had a blown headgasket, have the head checked for straightness. It'll save you a lot of possible time and money to not have to do it over again. I just dropped some new parts into mine and it decided that wasn't good enough, so she blew the upper radiator hose on me. Now I've got to keep an eye out for the dreaded milkshake on the oil cap or dipstick. FML
