Default oil and coolant problem

Hey all, just wondering how do you tell when the coolant is leak into the oil, what color the oil should be? I did an oil change like 2-3 weeks ago, and right now the oil still look yellow and green. When I spray the oil onto a white paper, the oil look like greenish yellow (hope its make sense). My friend told me that if it leak it, it would look like brownish color. Any help?

yea, it gets brownish, almost like poopy water ahah. it gets milky too =/ if you have coolant in your oil, it's very noticeable. it looks like a watery oil instead of straight oil if that makes sense.
