It is the 3.1 liter v6, and the fluiud is green, smells like coolant and there is steam rising when the engine is hot. My oil is clear and not milky, hence the reason I asked. I am not sure if one of the heater hoses at the fire wall are leaking and spraying coolant, I need to check. I just hope it isn't a head gasket. My wife would shoot me then. We just got done replacing the water pump and hoses because they were leaking. The leak went away for 1-2 weeks and reappeared 2 days ago.
