The oil cap looks like the oil is mixing with the coolant, like I may have a bad head gasket, but, the oil on the dipstick is good, and there is nothing inside of the coolant reservoir, or radiator.
The car is a 1989 Nissan 240SX, with 1995 KA24DE swap and a fairly simple turbo setup. The car is still on the stock ECU and the only means of management/tuning right now is an Apex'i SAFC.
All internals are 100% stock. The car is also smoking like crazy and I think it may be because of either the cracked head, bad ring lands, or bad valve seals.
I would really like everyone's opinion on this so I can get this stuff figured out ASAP. Thanks in advance.
