Farmall B question

I was over at a friends place today and he asked about his B. The oil is milky and his radiator is low. It sat all winter with out being run but had antifreeze in the radiator. Any how I opened up the oil drain plug just enough to see if I got water or antifreeze out but saw only milky oil. Does the B had soft plugs or freeze plugs in the head that may have rusted out that would cause his low coolant and milky oil in the engine?? Thanks.
I could pull the valve cover on a junked B engine but figure this would be easier

The exact same thing happened to mine two years ago. I drained the oil and put head gasket sealer additive in the radiator. Everything went back to normal.

old, there are no plugs of any kind in the head. I would suspect a leaking head gasket. It could just be condensation. I would try changing the oil and see if it turns milky as well. Sometimes condensation happens when they sit for long periods of time, and that ends up in the pan.

Forgot to say the radiator is low now but when he parked it, it was full. I figure since theres no plugs I'll tell him to drain the oil and let it sit a couple hours that way then fill his radiator and put a differant bucket etc under it to see if he gets more water. That way if he does he will at least save a few $$ on the oil.

If that is the case,the Unforgiven has narrowed that down pretty good. Try loosening the oil pan plug and see what you get. It should be sitting a while so water can settle to bottom. If it has ever been ran hot it will likely be those sealing rings between block and sleeve.

Head gasket, crack, or a sleeve o-ring is about all there is to choose from isn't it?
