2006 venture engine oil milky ?????

[erniebigmac]

Hey gang looking for some input on milky engine oil in my buddies 2006 venture. I am a auto mechanic myself and realize we have coolant reaching base was just wondering if anyone has seen this? Sled only has 7000 km on it. Does the three cylinder have the water pump run off the timing chain like the 4 cylinder ? Thinking this maybe the issue as the sled was not over heated and you wouldn't think a head gasket would go with hardly any miles on it, any input you may have is greatly appreciated .

have you tried replacing it to see if it is just condensation?

might want to check the air box for snow/water injestion as well? oil tank does vent to it after all.

On the front of the engine there is a water cooled oil cooler that could also create the problem if there is an internal leak.

can also happen if the key is turned on repeatedly and sled is not started..see if the oil smells of fuel and has thinned out..
