Maybe I'm missing something, but this test is for combustion gases in the coolant.

If there is a leak between the oil system and the coolant, this test will always be negative.

Cleaned it in the morning with prestone hose flush kit. Set heater up on high and let it wash thru it... I might have pulled the head the first time for nothing but I must say atleast I replaced some important stuff like water hoses and fixed connections... Car is running better then ever!! do not want to pull it apart again :(.....

also... if you can borrow or rent or if you have a cooling system pressure tester... dont put oil in.. and leave drain plug out... pressurize and see if you get water coming out... cheaper then looking for milk in new oil..
