    :( Changed oil and found antifreeze. There wasn't alot but some. I pulled my valve covers and found milk shake stuff collected on the top and green antifreeze laying in the head around the rockers. (Drivers side) The passenger side just had milkshake stuff.

    Last summer I replaced the head gaskets. It was blowing white smoke out the drivers side and had the milkshake stuff.

    This time I am not blowing white smoke at all. Runs great.

    Do you guys think it is the head gasket or maybe an intake gasket? I will probably replace both.

    FYI motor is a buick V6 (231 even fire) from a 1979 Chevy Monza.

    I am so bummed out.:mad:

    I agree Tim, replace head gaskets and intake gaskets, and don't run the engine at all until the new gaskets are installed...

    Sounds like you've caught this in time... I hope!

    Good luck, keep us posted...

    I would say do a compression test. I think it is jsut an intake leak. I always found the V6 intake to be a PIA to get right. :(
