well crap on a *******, when I did the solenoid swap the other day the oil looked off, put in fresh and ran it for a couple days - drained it again today and it is definitely milky.
So any good ideas on how to diagnose where I'm getting liquid in my oil from? I plan on doing a coolant pressure test, which should tell me if its coming from there (levels haven't dropped much if at all)
but how do I isolate the problem from there? no white smoke, but was still thinking of a compression/leak-down test.

what else?

anyone with experience in this area?

 

When my AOS, (I remember clearly the box did not call it that), went south, also seemed to coincide with the start of coolant loss. BUT the failed AOS causes a darn Check Engine light. Did you replace the AOS during your spring service with @Yves ? Are you getting a check engine light?

 

I've never changed the AOS. Alex thinks it might be the AOS as well, I've got a coolant pressure tester coming, will be here Monday, if the system hold pressure then it will really look like the AOS as that is probably the only other entry for moisture.
My oil cap never showed any signs of milk shake either, which kind of confuses me. I'm guessing that the amount of moisture in the system is very low....

 

got my pressure tester - once I got the cap tight enough...


One hour later...

 

Well, that's a good sign!

 

indeed! huge weight off of my shoulders
Ordered a new AOS

 

Glad it's not looking like a head gasket!
