I think I may have blown my headgasket, but I am having trouble confirming it.

- Has no oil in the coolant in radiator
- Is not overheating
- Still runs fine
- Smokes a little bit of white smoke at idle, but it does NOT smell like coolant
- The oil looks a little bit like a milkshake, but is still a dark brown

So did I or not?

 

Doesn't sound like a BHG if it's not overheating. Do you have a water and oil injected turbo? If so, you may be getting the mix from there.

 

If you have milky looking oil, you have trouble. Don't drive it until you get eveything figured out - sounds to me like you have coolant leaking into the oil passages and that will KILL your bearings. It may have already caused damage.

 

Im having the same problem, and would also like to know.

I think its possible to have a blown headgasket and have these symptoms...anyone care to shine some light?

 

milkshake oil = open up the motor. something is wrong. the HG beaing the least of your worries.

As soon as I started getting that on my last car, I brought it to a trusted mechanic (I was in school, so couldn't do the work myself), and told him it was the HG. He didn't beleive me because of the conflicting signs that you listed, but he ruled everything else out, poped the head, and there was the leak. It was a very small one on cyl 4, but if I had let it go, it could have been big problems.
