Do not run the car. If you overheat it , much more damage will result. Remove head(s) and replace the gasket. if it ran hot. You will experience more problems that will cost a lot more. I hope it did not run hot for long.

When i checked oil it looked milky

water or coolant is getting in oil. could be a bad head gasket. If the coolant level continues to drop, but there are no signs of coolant leaks on the ground or from the exhaust pipe, there is a good chance that coolant is entering crankcase and mixing in with the oil. check head gasket and manifold gasket for leaks.

Losing coolant in my radiator but i don't have any visible leaks. then i check my oil to find that it is a almost tan color does this mean my head gasket is going

I can' say its a head gasget but if its the color you say it is means water is getting into the oil some how. It would be best to have a cooling pressure test done to determine if its a head gasget or something else causing this.

1998 Dodge stratus 2.4 Head Gasget.

Go get a second opinion. A bad head gasket shouldn't cause an external oil leak (unless it is really bad and you are using quarts of oil a week). If anything, I suspect it maybe a vavle cover gasket causing oil on the engine.

Losing oil through exhaust and white smoking, what could be the problem?

Sounds like head gasget, Does it run hot? Does it use coolant? Better do a pressure test on the cooling system, Just to see where its leaking, most likely it going into a cyl. because of a blowen head gasget or maybe a cracked head. Thats why the white smoke out exhaust.

Oil in coolant

Head gasket or cracked head. Thats the only way oil can get in the coolant.
Do a compression test on each cylinder to test for crack or leaking gasket.

Smoke coming from exhaust pipe

It sounds like you have an oil leak. The head gasget may not be blown, but if there is a leak in the oil system the exaust will be smokey from burning the oil. Keep an eye on the oil level and it appears to be lower than normal, then thats probably the problem.

Wont start

most vacuum leaks are in hoses that are disconnected or have holes in them you can also take a bottle of water and spray it along the side of the intake and base of the carborater if the motor bogs or you here it **** the water in you have found you leak but it can be a leak under the intake and that is a bigger problem to find

Wont start

Check the backside bottom of the carb. there's a vacuum port there. Make sure it's plugged up. How's you timing? Also try rotating distributor back and forth. It may be a timing issue. Not enough or too much.
