Water and oil mixing in my car
Hello everyone! I have a 1994 Geo Tracker, and yesterday as I was checking the oil I found out that the water was mixing with the oil, there was a white layer on the oil cap, a friend of mine suggested to put a sealer on the radiator to temporarily fix the problem, but he told me my car won't last much, is this true? do I have to buy a new engine for my car? or it is fixable?? answers will be appreciated, thanks a lot!! and have a nice weekend.

Sometimes moisture collects on the surface of the caps, check the dipstick if the oil is milky.
Don't drive the car your not going to get very far.
Maybe just a head gasket if you did not drive the car to far with water in the oil.

Ale, what kind of driving do you do?.... short trips in a small town or lots of highway driving? A white layer could be normal for short trips. Any history of overheating? As GWIZ mentioned, check the dipstick.... this would be more telling of a problem.
