#63506, "Fixed head gasket but fluids still mixing?"
After 7 months of downtime, my car rumbled back to life. But my oil line is leaking. I can replace the line but im more concerned at what color the oil is. It's milky, sort of whitish looking oil. It's the same color my oil was the last time it mixed.
I was wondering if it could just be some of the coolant thats stuck in the engine after I changed the oil, or is it something bigger? What else can make the fluids mix? Maybe a faulty water pump?

I take it your turbo?
The oil and coolant can only mix where the head goes on the block (unless you have a oil/water cooled turbo), unless you flushed out your cooling and oil system you will have some left over in there, and I recommend you change the oil and coolant until it's pure again.
