oooooooooooooooooooooo blown head gasket oil mixing with coolant. I had a Dodge Shadow that looked exactly same color and I warped the head cause it's aluminum. It's so nasty to try and flush out of your motor...how many miles are on it???

Yeah same thing happened to my escort beater. Oil in coolant like he said...bad or blown head gasket. Time to pay out the *** for a replacement. Lucky for you your car is SOHC and isn't as difficult to pull the head as say a DOHC

yea check the dipstick. that way you'll know if the oil is bad cause it's down in the pan.

i work in a shop, and i see that all the time, chances are its just ordinary moisture. nothing to get too worried about. if its on the dipstick, however, then it is time to start looking into it a little further, until then, just use a rag to wipe it up as good as you can.
