Hi Derek.
It is almost impossible for the engine oil to become "milky" under normal circumstances. If you have changed the oil and have used the wrong type, it may become aerated and appear milky. The only other way for water to be added to the sump is through the oil filler. I doubt this is the case as it is a neglect thing and indicates that someone has run the machine without the oil filler caps. Hopefully this is not the case, but as the engine has a low oil level sensor, it might be the reason why it wont start. It's a safety device.
There is no way that the engine oil can be contaminated by water from the pressure pump.
If you mean that the water pump oil is milky, this means that the seals have failed between the pump and the transmission. Difficult to check in a G2500. If this is the case the machine has probably been used beyond the manufacturer's intent and has overheated.

Coolant milky and engine lost power whats the problem

Hi Kate

This is rarely a cheap fix as it is likely your head gasket has blown.

We were driving home lastnight and car over heated then died now it wont start. It turns over but wont start. Changed the thermostat. I dont think the fan is kicking on.

Very possible you have a blown head gasket. A compression test on your engine will verify that. When you changed thermostats, was your coolant clean, no traces of oil contamination? Have you checked your oil dipstick? A milky color would indicate water (coolant) in your oil, a sure sign of head gasket failure. Just depends how badly it overheated. But if it wont start, I'd say get a compression test.

Milky oil will not start

milky oil is bad, it probably means a blown head gasket or a cracked block-because it won't start, I'd lean toward the cracked block, but I don't know the car's history-what led up to this? Was it badly overheated recently? No matter what, if you even think it might start again, drain what is in the crankcast, antifreeze kills bearings-not like water is better, but if you drain the anitfreeze too, and fill it with water, and do a pressure test on the radiator, you can find out how bad it really is-good luck.

Chevy s-10 pick up truck ,158154, 4cyl engine, wont start

Milky substance on your dip stick indicates contamination in your engine oil, most likely coolant and that is an indication of head gasket, or intake gasket gone bad and coolant leaking into your oil system. Note that coolant in your engine oil is bad, coolant will corrode the internal engine's bearing causing you to replace or overhaul the engine. The engine not starting is most likely the result of being blown and will need to be replaced.
Thank you for using Fixya and god luck
