white with bubbles?
you might have coolant in your oil.

Can you take a picture? It's normal for the oil to be a little agitated when the car is running. I always have a tiny bit of bubbles on mine, but it still looks like oil.

l dont think its the head gasket.my radiator is leaking and its visible. it gets to normal oil color after it warms up with noo bubbles or white color.even before l get it started the oil looks fine.

look in the coolant tank. If theres oil in there.... theres your problem.
