Milky Oil...... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So i went to check out all the levels on my truck today and when i pulled out my oil dipstick there was "milk" towards the top like around the seal but none down where you read it at, it was to the full mark of nice gold oil. I pulled the valve cover and there was "milk" all over inside it. The intake is leaking oil and coolant in a couple of the spots where the bolts are at. Im wondering if this is a head gasket or an intake gasket? It doesn't smoke at all when you start it or rev it up and its a new rebuilt 383. Any help would be appreciated, intake or head gasket? And also what are some methods of getting water out of the crankcase? If i change either of these gaskets i'll probably end up with some water in my oil and i'll need to get it and all of the milk flushed out.
