Default Milky oil...

I pulled my valve cover and noticed milky oil, i,e; water in the oil. I went under the car and noticed dried water stains on the starter side of the block. It appeared the right head gasket was leaking both water and oil, oil leaks also. I pulled the head, starter side, expecting to see either a damged head gasket, instake gasket or cracked head. I know for the head I ideally need to have it pressure checked. The head gasket looked fine so did the intake gasket although it tore when I removed the intake.

-Could the head gasket just start leaking for no apparent reason? I guess the head could be warped. right?

Any other ideas??

I'll bring the head in to have it pressure checked along with the instake maniford I guess.

Thanks for your help....

Mike
