Engine Oil had brown frothy streaks in it
So I changed the oil in my 2002 Honda Odyssey yesterday and the used oil in the pan had tanish/brown streaks running through it. There were also some frothy bubbles. It looked like something was leaking into my oil... any thoughts? Here's a pic...

welcome to the forum. Possible radiator fluid. after your oil change, monitor your rad fluid level. also checking your oil fill cap, it would also show a bit of brown color or water on the cap.

Yep ,as stated, coolant in oil.
|
coolant was my first thought. I've been checking the levels and their fine. Also, the radiator is only 2 years old and the coolant is still bright green... no rust coloring at all
|
Also the oil filler cap looks perfectly normal
|
It's possible that there is some condensation in the crank case,I would drive it a few hundred and change it again.
|
could be a blown head gasket has the car overheated lately ???.
