Engine mileage has gotten worse; there
is no' missing' or overheating yet...still time
for a try with a sealant? Or is that just not
good overall...?

Noticed some oil leakage also...

Common weak spots on a 4.0L OHV V6:
- cylinder heads like to crack between the intake & exhaust valves
- lower intake gaskets like to leak coolant internally/externally on the rubber portion of the gasket
- fuel rail upper and lower gaskets like to push through causing vacuum leaks
With that said, you may need an engine. How long was the engine ran with coolant in the crankcase? It's pretty safe to assume that you've ruined the bearings in the engine, if it was ran long enough before you discovered this problem.

Does it miss. Sometimes the intake manifold gets eaten inside and then the gasket can't seal correctly.
Did you run the engine hot, if you did you may need head gaskets.

Yup, headgasket. When your oil starts looking like chocolate milk, it's not a good thing. Expect to shell out some cash to your mechanic.

Replace headgasket. If you still have the problem get a new engine

Sounds like it could be a blown head gasket, does it over heat?

try some block sealer with sodium silicate, change the oil, and water and follow the directions
it's worth a try, you don't have anything to lose and it's cheap :)

Head gasket is the only place they could interact. You need one.
