Take the oil filler cap off if it whitish gunk it's water in the oil. Also if it s petrol have the car idling if you can and remove 1 spark lead at I time and that can tell you if that cylinder is dodgey. Best way is a compression test though the others are a bit more diagnostic

Cracked head

If the oil is creamy, you need to pull the head and conduct the necessary repairs...

Bubbels from the cooling system, never gets the air out of the cooling system

The TB42 heads had screw in tapered coreplugs along the top of them. They then crack outwards from the force of the tapered plug. In the past I have had all the plugs removed and welded over with no further issues

The oil being cream in colour is an indicator of oil mixing with water/coolant in the engine. most likely head gasket or cylinder head.
