Hi all,

I have a 2005 A4 with the 3.0. Today I was checking my fluids when I noticed my coolant was a little low. It scared me a little because I recently had my water pump replaced. I also had a coolant leak in the back of the engine fixed. So when I checked my oil I noticed there were a few streaks of milky white residue in the oil. I also took off the oil cap and saw a few more spots of white milky like fluid.

So bad head gasket? From what I read that's not a very common problem with this engine though. But I don't see anything else it can be.

Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks all

 

if the oil has a milky milkshake look to it kinda white in color . you have a head gasket going bad. Its letting antifreeze over into the cylinders which runs down into oil pan. it will only get worse,, pay close attention to your heat gauge as you drive for over heating .
