My question is how choc milk like is it?
I changed the Delta's oil this morning (I kill my mech's old assinant if I ever see him, he had to use a wrench or a strap to install the oil filter after the oil was changed from fixing the manifold problem I had a while ago) and it looked a bit dark brown, almost choco like. I collected a sample, but in the bottle it looked like used motor oil.
Any ideas

you'd probly see "milky" spots in the oil that would show anti-freeze and/or water...if its completely milky, then yeah you got lots of it in there...check the reservoir/rad and it'll tlel you if its leakin by somewhere

Any coolant or water would look like whitish spot in the oil, you will also notice patches in the surface if there are anything other than oil in there.

water and oil will seperate...
So look at whats in the pan. Give it some time to sit. If you notice seperation, you got a problemo.
darker colors can from heat if i remember, like a bad seal or excessive blowby. Correct me if I'm wrong tho

A pale yellow sludge (sometimes bubbly) on the dipstick.
