Bruce, One quick thing you can test with the cooling system - slowly loosen the cap when the engine is cold (before first start of the day), should have no residual pressure, if there is, they'll most likely be a headgasket leak from a water port under a firing ring into a cylinder - this means water use, but no emulsion in the oil.
