you've got coolant in the oil. It's either a head gasket or a cracked block.

I'm assuming its more than likely a gasket tho.

probably the head gasket. driving with low or no coolant will F up the head gasket. didn't you notice the engine temperature was high?

Blown headgasket. Did you overheat it???
Big Job!!!!

Depending on the mile on your ride, it might be prudent to replace the complete engine.

He's got an OHV engine, replacing the headgasket is not that big of a deal. Honestly I'd call around shops, its more of a $350ish job.
