My Tracker has very milky oil by the time 75 miles has passed since an oil change. I had the head gasket done, and it still happens. My guess is that there is a crack in the block somewhere.
What will happen if I continue to run this car? If I keep adding antifreeze, and change the oil at regular intervals(every 300 miles or so), will it keep running? What is destroyed by antifreeze in the oil, if no oil is in the coolant?

So far, the car runs great!

If headgasket was done, did you pressure check it?
Suspect that driving it like that will for sure shorten engine life
