Why is coolant milky color?

Coolant can appear milky in color due to the presence of contaminants, such as oil, which can indicate a head gasket leak or other issues in the engine. When oil mixes with the coolant, it creates a cloudy or milky appearance. Additionally, the presence of rust or other debris can contribute to this discoloration. It's essential to address this issue promptly, as it can lead to serious engine damage if left untreated.

What causes the coolant color to turn milky?

There is only one thing that comes to mind on your problem of a milky coolant and it isn't good news. I am leaning towards you having a cracked block, a cracked head or a blown head gasket. What it sounds like is that engine oil is mixing with your coolant. There are only a few places where this can take place, which I have mentioned. I would run a pressure check on your colling system and watch for the pressure to slowly go down. Also look for milky oil contamination. I wish you the best of luck.


My 1990 Nissan maxima will not shift out of first and will not go into reverse plus the fluid looks like milk?

The transmission fluid cooled by routing it through the radiator. The fluid probably is a milky color because the radiator had failed internally allowing the coolant and transmission fluid to mix. Check the coolant and if looks milky change the radiator, coolant, and transmission fluid.
