my truck has about 150,000 miles on it and the more miles i get on it the more foam it produces under the oil cap. it is a yellowish oil color. i will clean it out and every time i go to change the oil it is back. what is this, any way to fix it and is is harmful vs. normal? thanks ryan

I had that on my toyota for about a year before the headgasket went out. Slow leak or something.

You're getting water in your oil. Probably from a head gasket, but could also be a crack in the block or head.

Thanks... I guess I should just let it go until it shows itself more. How difficult to change a head gasket?

in the winter if i dont let the truck warm up condensation will form there causing it to be the milkshake color. in the summer its fine

Yeah condensation in winter forming on the oil cap is completely normal. Chances of it being a small head gasket leak is very unlikely. Pressure test your coolant system when the motor is cold and see if you have a loss.
