Two steps forward and a giant leap backwards.

its either water or anti freeze, either will do the "chocolate milk" thing to the oil, it wipes bearings also.

anti freeze gets in from a few places, but a common is the intake gasket leaks into the lifter valley, I use silicone around the water ports of the head/intake for many years now because i had this situation happen once. you could pressure test the system, oil drain plug out see if antifreeze comes out the oil pan...

No brass in the filter and oil pressure is still holding at 60 so I don’t think it has done serious damage to the bearings yet.
