    I don't think you'll be able to tell until the head is removed.

      What happened exactly?

      It leaks already, from oil pan and im 100% sure it is from there because the gasket looks bad. And yesterday i was fooling around trying to re-bleed the system so the rad could fill back up and discovered this. Coolant mixing with the oil looks like but not %100 sure on that

        Eek! Time to pull the head bud. Whatever that is it shouldn't be in the oil

          Not just yet- there's no brown milky goo. It's together, but it usually emulsifies in the engine.

          If it were mine, I'd get the cooling system properly bled, and see how it went.
          Pressure test the cooling system, do the sniff test on the oil, yes, drive it not far
          from home, yes, but panic? Not yet.

          You may get lucky and that's just from the bleeding. It can sometimes sneak quite
          a lot out and you miss it.

          Optimistically,

            It may be from the bleeding since i see the milky brown stuff in the coolant reservior

              Touché.

              I guess check the dipstick and oil cap for milkshake/mayonnaise
