[QUOTE="David Ponder, post: 943506, member: 65447"] Al, SOME moisture can come in thru the dipstick tube, but I dont think enough to make the oil mikly. Keep in mind, a bad head gasket or cracked head, will not always allow oil into the coolant. It can allow coolant into the oil without allowing oil into coolant. Have a pressure check done on the radiator. If it comes back OK, then take the next step. Assuming the truck is running fine, (no miss, no rough idle) You still have an issue because even if this was condensation, the milky oil will damage main and rod bearings. To check I would suggest waiting overnight then draining the oil slowly. any water should be on the bottom of the pan, and would drain out first. Watch closely and then change the oil. (Use cheap oil and filter) Then run it for a day or two, carefully watching the coolant and oil levels and condition. Then drain again to see if you have water in the oil again. if you do, start thinking about engie overhaul due to bearings. I certainly dont know everything, but this is my .02 worth. Good Luck.
