I hate to be the barer of bad news but your boned. Once anti freeze hits oil it pretty much destroys the engine. It has a bad habit of shearing those crank bearings out like small twisted razor blades. I have done over 2 dozen head jobs and I always ask the customer to put in a new lower end before going forward with the repair. Otherwise I won't do the job. In fact It might just be cheaper to buy a used engine and drop it in there.

It is unlikely that any sealant you add to the radiator will fix your problem. These sealants are usually marketed for small leaks in the radiator itself.
The head gasket is really designed to contain the combustion products in the cylinders. Each of the cylinders is surrounded by a coolant jacket and there are passages through the head gasket allowing the coolant to flow from the engine block into the cylinder head. Head gasket failures typically result in a opening between one of the cylinders and the water jacket. This allows the coolant to flow into the cylinders where it is flashed to steam and exits out the tailpipe with the exhaust. If the gasket degrades sufficiently you may admit too much water into a cylinder which will result in a condition called hydro lock and which will cause significant mechanical damage to the engine.
If your coolant is actually getting into the motor oil you most likely have a different kind of problem. Some GM V6 engines had problems with the intake manifold gaskets leaking and allowing the coolant to enter the crankcase.
Regardless of the source of the leak if you are loosing coolant internal to the engine you are facing signicant repair bills and the leak can not be fixed with an additive.

dont try no sealer and dont start you will just make it worse you must remove the head clean it up and replace the head gasket and hope the head is not cracked if you know anybody that works on cars they will tell you to fix it right the 1st time the sealants the auto parts store sell do not work these are temp fixtures do more harm than good I flused a cooling sytem for a person because there heater was not working and car was over heating once flushed good found pellets from stop leak clogged the cooling sytem now works good hope this helps.

No do not drive the vehicle. If the water went in the oil, you blew a head gasket and the engine will need extensive work if the oil is white. If the oil isn't white, then you will need to change both head gaskets before water gets in the oil. If you need to know how, contact me at bowlerinprogress@yahoo.com

I somewhat have not used any of those products that declare to seal blown head gaskets myself, yet have heard the two good and undesirable thoughts from mechanics who've. specific, that's a extra reasonably-priced fix, yet to inform the certainty, the have not been on the industry long sufficient for me to apply them. That being pronounced, before those "miracle chemical ingredients", liquid glass (silicone silicate) grew to become into utilized by making use of particularly some persons previous college techs with a intense degree of fulfillment. Even making use of something like that that i grew to become into familiar with constantly carried slightly reluctance on my section-a serious cooling passage in a cylinder head or engine block that grew to become into partly constrained even using primary placed on with religious cooling device centers might % up thoroughly, inflicting catastrophic failure of the capacity plant. Be ordinary making use of it, and attempt to plot to have the gaskets replaced exact as quickly as achieveable. And as an after notice, head gaskets infrequently fail except there are different circumstances that resulted interior the engine working warmer than designed- failure to maintain the cooling device, constrained radiator, caught thermostat, water pump impeller eaten away because of the fact of wrong cooling device service-those varieties of issues. be sure you have the venture THAT led to THE preliminary OVERHEAT CORRECTED!

okay here we go start by taking valve-covers and exhaust manifolds off and intake.remove head to uncover piston cylinders.remove gasket and replace put head back and tighten head bolts to specified foot pounds of tourqe and in proper order you will need a haines or chiltons manual.

You could do that, but it would not be beneficial. You must remove the intake to get to the head. Disconnect the exhaust so you can take the head off.

put the sealer in....top up with water...start the motor up...
there should be instructions on the container...
usually have to drive till its warmed up 20 mins or so
would suggest you add some anti freeze anti corosion stuff at some stage to...
