I have water coming from my tail pipe, and my oil is kind of a milky brown color (like a chocolate shake). how do I tell if this is a blown head gasket or a cracked block?

Iīm not sure, but a blown head gasket would probably pump up your cooling system...but that can also happen if the block was cracked. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I once head a cracked head and there was no water in the oil at all but the water came bubbling out on top of the radiator even when the engine was cold.
Itīs hard to tell without pulling the heads I guess.

sounds like Montezuma's revenge

whatever you got, we don't want it.

Either way, the heads have gotta come off. Just pull them off and find out.
