  Agreed with both of you.

  That’s the classic “milkshake” color and is definitely from coolant.

    How would coolant get in there? A mechanical failure, or would someone literally pour coolant into the oil hole?

      Cracked coolant port(s) in the cylinder head usually. Although, I’ve seen people put washer fluid in power steering reservoirs. So yeah pouring coolant directly into the engine could also result in this nightmare.

      /Also in modern cars, the liquid/liquid oil coolers fail surprisingly often.

      Very common with a blown head gasket, though I’m not sure how often that happens in modern cars

        Very often with modern smaller turbo motors. The head is under pressure and sooner or later, the head gasket fails.
