Coolant leaks in to oil but oil does not leak into the coolant and it doesnt leak anywhere else on the car. My oil is a milky brown color and has some white foam on the neck inside the oil place. Engine runs fine never over heated at all. And for driving 86 miles with the resovor top offed and the radiator topped off it took all of the coolant besides a 1/4 that was left in the radiator and their is no white smoke comeing out of my tail pipe. And I have changed the radiator cap and the thermostat as well. And the engine only has 59,000mi on it. And my car is a 1999 buick century custom. 3.1L V-6.

Something like a crack in the head will allow high pressure water to leak into a low pressure oil area.

Im not sure if its a cracked head. Cause I just got the engine I took it to a mechanic shop and they took out my old engine and put that engine into my car I have a 1 year engine warranty. But im not sure what the warranty covers.

The warranty should cover and oil cross contamination, best read you're paper work and contact the mechanic that fitted the engine.
