head gasket - timing belt?

White froth in the oil is from water.
I think you're right; head gasket time.....quickly.

Subject: head gasket - timing belt?


On my 4 cyl. 80 I recently have noticed oil in the coolant reservoir, and a
liquid white residue (oil) on the oil cap.  Someone who will go unnamed said
my car was in need of a timing belt.  I am leaning more on the side of the
head gasket leak.  Has anyone heard of a timing belt causing oil/coolant
mix?
