I'm not entirely sure, but I checked the oil in the pan earlier today and it looked a little creamy. Is a gasket issue the only way this could be?

I just changed my oil too and noticed the same thing. My engines got 101500 on it, but the oil looked fine, probably/hopefully just condensation.

Sure enough... Blown head gasket. I am so pissed! Those f***ers sold me a car with a blown head gasket!! They told me that the radiator fan wasn't working and that the engine must have overheated at some point therefore blowing the gasket. My tib has NEVER overheated on me since I bought her at the end of November. Those stupid people!!! But, I am glad that I bought the 2 year warrenty they offered me. I just have to pay a $100 deductable. They had my tib for about three days and never offered me a rental car! Grrrr.... Now they tacked on another $300 to replace the fan, timing belt, plugs, termostat, and oil! Grrrr.... Oh well... I'll be driving a stupid '05 Altima with 39000+ miles on it that seriously needs some work of it's own. Oh welll... I'm done venting now.
