Explorer in question is a 2000 OHV 4.0L sport with a whopping 90k on it. One day it started running a little on the hot side. Never fully overheated or even threw a light. Checked coolant. Filled coolant. Coolant dissappeared again a pretty short time later less than 20 miles of driving. It ran fine but of course the oil looks like chocolate milk. Right before I parked it, I noticed coolant was starting to make its way into the intake as well. Hasnt been driven since.
After some searching it seems the usual causes are the obvious head gasket or cracked head. Possibly intake gasket?
Based on that info is there any likely hood that its one or the other? I have a headgasket/bolt set on the way but any other input would be great.
