Oil in coolant! 1988f350 460cu.

I have a 1988 f350 with a 460.It has been sitting for a year.When I started driving it again I noticed it was using oil.There are no leaks and no smoke.I checked the plugs and they are dry.So I checked the coolant and it was a little milky.But I'm not sure it's oil?And the oil looks fine just low.

After sitting for a year, wouldn't hurt to change the oil, it's cheap. Then keep an eye on the eye and check the dipstick and the oil filler cap. If you see what looks like chocolate moose or sludge on either you might suspect a water leak. More like just condensation.

Good Luck,

Jim Henderson
