This is what the final verdict is. good news. the crap i saw at the top of the fluid must of been corrision from the overflow tank. the car just doesnt seem as fast as it used to be, but it could be in my head. the smell must have been the antifreeze burning off the motor after it leaked a bit! her is waht my mechanic said:
i gave him 20 bux, he asked for 15 bux! Based on Pressure checks Hot and Cold, could not find any major problems(Intake Gkst, Head Gskt, cracked head..etc.) . As I noted I did find leaks at Upper Hose at Thermostat, and By pass hose. The one baffling item is there is a slight amount of water in the oil. However it appears to have no anti-freeze in it. This is a good sign since appears to be moisture(condensation) in the motor that settled out. The oil did not appear "Milky" at all.
