Looks like coolant in the oil
About 3 weeks ago car got messed up on the front and the rad got a small leak. Well the motor ran max temp twice on me. I only had it there for like 30-45 sec.
Im not 100 % positive it is coolant, but when i checked the oil level there was a white foam on the dip stick, and the oil seemed really thin. Also took the oil fill cap off and ran my finger on the top of the valve cover and it was all gunked on there as well. Like really thick white stuff.
Is it coolant in the oil, or just the oil breaking down?

Not as far as I can tell. The car is in the bodyshop for the time getting fixed up. But when I was checking I didnt see anything.
Could this sound like a blow headgasket?
Or is my oil needing of a changing.
Wondering if I need a new motor when it comes out.

yea the oil looked the right color( brown not too dark and not too light, just brown), just thin. On the dip stick, where there are the fill dots the oil was fine. Just further up the stick there was a white film/foam.
