Default is this definitely a head gasket???



this is the oil that came out of the ZC i got recently. the motor has not been fired since i got it a few weeks ago. people are saying it is my head gasket. but it could just be water from condensation right?

If it is the head gasket however...how long do i have to drive on it? i want to get it started, and flush the oil again, and see how it looks, rather than invest all the time and money into the head gasket. Or should i just not worry about it, and just replace the head gasket, and skip a step?

please let me know what you think. thanks

Do a leakdown test to be sure.
