Cracked Cylinder Diagnosis: Check Oil ColorDOUG JENKINS: Hi. I'm Doug. I work with 20 great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods, and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. One thing we check when looking for coolant problems--the customer complained about burning coolant--is we check the oil, and if you look at it, it shouldn't be green. This is a little bit milky-looking. The green in the oil is from the coolant. It should be either clear or kind of brown-black. This green color is making me think there might be a coolant issue like the customer said.
