When I check my oil and wipe it on a white piece of napkin or cloth, there's a slight tint of green. What does that mean? Did a compression test and its 235,210,215,220...could it mean a blown head gasket?

 

Green being anti freeze maybe.

 

Is the oil overall a milky color? Sounds like a blown head gasket to me.

Nope. Looks like regular oil with a tint of green when held up to the light.

 

Any overheating? How about white smoke from the exhaust? If you have coolant in the oil, it will burn and cause white smoke.

 

No overheating. Only see white smoke when flooring it.

 

definitely a blown head gasket with white smoke. Odd since those compression numbers seem pretty good. A leakdown test may yield less than stellar results, though.

 

maybe you can send the oil to a lab for analysis
