my 97 safari overheated and shutdown. I replaced the radiator. when I checked the oil it was milky. I drained the milkshake out of the oil pan and replaced the plug. then I filled my new radiator with water and drained it. when I pulled the plug on the oil pan there was about 1 - 2 cups of water. Is this a blown head gasket? or do I have bigger problems.

Might be.Could also be a blown intake manifold gasket.Disassembly is the best way to see which it is, if you continue to run the engine you may damage the bearings due to the water in the oil
