Question

Hi, I have a 1995 Z26 Beretta which is leaking coolant from some where in the engine. The coolant has actually mixed in with the engine oil. Now I think that this is a intake manifold gasket leak, but im also wondering if maybe the block could be cracked? Also, what is the best way to clean all of the milky coolant/oil mixture from the engine?

Hi XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX;

The intake maniifold is a possibility. Albeit a slight one. Most likely you have a blown head gasket or a cracked head/block.

The best way would be to disassemble the block and have it hot tanked. The most practicle way is to drain the oil, change the filter and then refill the crank case with fresh oil and a quart of marvel mystery oil. Run the car till it is warm. Drain the crank case and change the filter again. Fill and your good to go.
