i have a chevy venture 1998, i removed the dipstick and the oil is a beige color and kind of like a paste. I know its gotta be coolant in the oil...But can someone tell me how its getting there...? Please help and thank you

It's most likely the classic problem -> The LIM gasket. Check the sticky tread in the forum, there you'll find all about it.

Spend some time searching and reading past post on this forum because it is all laid out for you. You may get off easy with just LIM gaskets but it may also need a new head gasket. Continue driving and you could damage your cam bearings if they are not already.
