oil in coolant
Someone please tell me if you can say for sure this is oil? cause its not milky or dark, just those little floating particles.

When you get the valve cover off, look down the left side for this.
If the plastic guides are gone then it is the timeing chain eating thru the cover into the water pump area. you will need to replace it fast or you will lose you engine.. The timeing chain and cover. look on e-bay for the cover, you will find them there cheaper.
