Well, I had my oil changed last week at the Hyundai Dealership. I had a free one plus its winter here so I said hell why not. The filter was replaced with my K & N.
So today I was driving home from work and once I got home, just decided to check on the fluids etc.
I open up the oil cap and this is what I see.
I've never seen it creamy like this before. I'm not exactly sure what it means so I'm asking you guys.

Looks like you might have a milkshake man...Or in another words your getting antifreeze in your oil somehow. There are many ways this can happen. Its not necesarily a bad thing but it can turn into one. Usually cars with alot of miles will always do this from gaskets getting old and stuff like that.

No man there could be a SLIGHT crack in one of the water runs that let it leak into the head, But yes Headgasket is the number one. But with it being yellow and foamy would you think it would be antifreeze?
