    It's most likely the lower intake manifold gaskets if it's in the oil.

    Oh thank god, it was cloudy and rainy when I checked my oil dipstick, I think my eyes were playing tricks on me, looks like new oil on dipstick, when I checked it a couple weeks ago I thought it looked rusty collored.

    2 question's
    Well eyes wern't playing tricks, I changed the oil to move car, and checked oil again, definate coolant in oil sign's.Havent done a compression check yet, can that be done with intakes off?
    AZ looks to only sell lower or upper intake gaskets, can't find a kit online, does anyone have a link for one.
