Today I decided to go in and at least drain my oil (since I can't drop the engine yet). I went in to this knowing I would have some metallic oil and more than likely, chunks of metal. What I got, however, was a gallon of coolant pouring out, turning into the milky chocolate color contaminated oil then to just jet black, very thick oil. The oil had less than 1,200 miles on it, by the way. The oil didn't smell like oil or antifreeze because it had the overwhelming stench of gas. The drain pan looked like one of those sixth grade science projects, where you show the different weight and densities of liquids ... oil at the bottom, coolant in the middle and fuel up top. There were metal pieces everywhere, the oil filter was loaded with metal and even when I put my hand into the oil in the drain pan, you could very easily see the metal. It would appear that since there is so much gas in the oil that I may have potentially killed off a piston.

I finally have some pictures :)

**IF YOU ENLARGE THE PICTURES, THE DETAIL IS MUCH BETTER!**

Yum, that coolant came out of my filter

If you enlarge this photo, you can see all of the metallic sheen to the oil
