OMG, this is obviously the work of a shade tree mechanic, using actual trees! Wonder how much saw dust is floating around in the oiling system?

Wow! I wonder if they were using that to release the timing chain tensioner or something and it dropped. It's right below that area.

coolant is mixed with the oil so ill be pulling the oil pan and do a full cleaning. who knows i might find a barbie doll in there

thank you all

Hex bolt is 10mm as mentioned in this video:

If you removed the water pump without draining it first, you can easily get coolant in thru the timing area. This is a common mistake (I made it) and that is why there is a drain plug on the bottom of the water pump on the outside.

Thank you, there seemed to be way more oil,coolant that came out of the engine completely brown (half of a 5 gallon bucket) and when i got the car the coolant was empty. I didnt know why no coolant so i added water and when i started the car it ran terribly and shot the water out of the exhaust. the ignition coil wire going to number 2 cylinder was frayed and the car sounded like only 3 pistons firing i fixed the wire and still only three pistons. found out one of the spark plugs bad no way for spark. would a head gasket cause coolant to mix with oil? hopefully no other damage we will soon see.

Yes, a bad head gasket can mix coolant with your oil.
