Thank you for your quickly response.
Yes, the weather was very cold in the Midwest. However this car had a history of "drinking" oil, thus I have to put in at least 3/4 quart of oil for ~ 1200 miles. I told the shop about that when they did the oil change and they assured me that common to the BMW X5. That's why I always have a quart of oil in my car. I might not a good descriptor but the "milky" emulsion is more likely has bright yellow color to me. Let's assume it was not the headgasket for now, I'm just curiosity how the oil can be push-out the engine block ?
Is that true even though I have the head gasket job and its associate root causes done properly by a certified BMW mechanic (assume no crack in the head), the engine won't be last long after this event ? I'm really frustrate, because I feel bad for the next owner when I trade it in after I got it fixed ?
Thanks again -- Vivian.
