I have a 02 Camaro small block,
So long story short I believe I have a blown headgasket just getting that out of the way
ANYWAYS both my trans and oil dipstick are the same color, awhile back I had to get my car towed and in the process we tore apart the radiator(one the hoses ripped apart the radiator) so I got it home and drove it only up the driveway, replaced it. Had some large coolant leaks after replacing it fixed that, car gave out on my roughly 1-2 months. Now it's sitting with a I think a blown headgasket. I just want to know what other things could've went wrong or if I have to replace more parts
UPDATE: I had one of my mechanic friends come by, we did another compression test and he was more after what they looked like and he found one that had coolant on it, he told me that I just need the intake gasket replaced, there's is also a lot of water in my oil, also he told me I need to replace the mass air flow sensor, also when he removed the sensor it started normal a little rough and smelt like a weed whacker(if u have one and know that smell)

When you blow a head gasket, a common thing to happen is for the fuel, oil, and coolant all to mix.
I'd flush all three of those fluids out very well to make sure they aren't still mixed.
If they did mix, there is a very good chance the pistons warped and your cylinders are shot. That happens because when gas gets in the cylinders due to the head gasket, it causes the motor to heat significantly which isn't supposed to happen, that's what the oil to cool is for.
You could have damage in your head, your pistons, your cylinders walls good be damaged. You might even have damage as far down as the cat.
My suggestion to you, disassemble the entire motor and inspect everything and replace what is needed. It might even be cheaper just to get a new motor at that point though.
Best of luck, any other issues feel free to ask.

Exactly what I was going to say. If it was me, I'd take out the motor, stick it on an engine stand and start tearing it apart to make sure nothing was damaged in the process. I've had this happen to me a few times, mostly in my beat up sleepers because I use redneck ingenuity and sling things together and make things work lol, but definitely check out the pistons and the walls, if you're lucky then they both could still be in good shape. Good luck man and keep us posted on this. Like Kylo said, if you need anything feel free to message either of us.

When you remove the MAF it causes the motor to run a lot richer using more fuel, hence why it smells like a weed wacker. Water in your oil could just be from your intake gasket, I'd replace that and go from there.

An absolute pain in the ass! Literally a MAF can cause a Chevy to go into limp mode.
