cream...as in like a milkshake?

if so, please check your dipstick. If the dipstick has the same consistensy...then u might have a big problem.

Basically it means oil is mixing with coolant/water and creating this cream/milkshake.

Eventually, the engine will seize.

Reasons: crack head, crack block, bad headgasket or anywhere where the oil is mixing with coolant.

hope this helps...

cream?
dude,send ur ride for a check at a workshop double time!
not a good sign man.
either tht or try flushing/servicing ur radiator.it could also b rust sediments clogging up ur radiator internals and causing it to froth.....
i had the same thing whn i 1st got my e30 5yrs ago and after servicing/flushing my radiator,thank god it was ok.
but,better be safe thn sorry,go chech with ur mechanic asap dude!

all the best.

let's just hope it's bad gasket instead of cracked head or block...
