Oil and coolant should NEVER mix in an automobile. Can you be a bit more descriptive in your question? Im led to believe there is something wrong with your vehicle.
I agree with him, if you have what you call a mix of coolant and oil on the valve cover you have an internal coolant leak you need to get looked ASAP. Oil and coolant do not mix anywhere, it's like if you put oil and water in a jar and shake it, it seems to "mix" but it really doesn't and it will separate when left alone. If you get too much coolant in the oil, it will take away the lubricating quality of the oil and it will ruin the engine.
What else can I help you with?
Could a blown valve cover gasket cause oil to mix with coolant?
No, only a blown head gasket or cracked head will cause coolant to mix with the oil. A leaking valve cover gasket will only cause oil to leak onto the engine block externally.
Will blown valve cover gasket cause an engine tick?
No. It would cause the coolant and oil to mix and it would look like a Milkshake drain oild and check it.
How do you change the coolant on a 1998 gmc vandura?
To change the coolant on a 1998 GMC Vandura, start by allowing the engine to cool completely. Locate the radiator drain valve at the bottom of the radiator, place a drain pan underneath, and open the valve to let the old coolant flow out. Once drained, close the valve and fill the radiator with a 50/50 mix of fresh coolant and distilled water, ensuring to also fill the overflow reservoir.

How does coolant work?
Engine coolant is what I'm assuming you are talking about. Engine coolant is a mix of water and etholyn glycol (antifreeze). It pulls heat away from your engine block that builds up from the friction of moving parts. The coolant mix allows the coolant to get cold to a point and not freeze because of the etholyn glycol. It is also not good to put straight antifreeze into your engine because antifreeze does not have as much cooling potential as water antifreeze mix. Also if you have just antifreeze in your engine the antifreeze will boil at a much lower temperature than a mix of aproxamalty 50/50.

After filling, run the engine with the heater on high for a few minutes to circulate the coolant, then check the level and top off as necessary. Finally, dispose of the old coolant properly, as it's toxic.
