Large intake leak, antifreeze leaking into the oil milked oil. When I checked the oil I found this so started looking for other problems. I put a pressure test on the radiator and found the leak immediately! The antifreeze came out from under the front edge of the #1 cylinder!I am very up set to hear that this is very common and would like to see g.m. Recall their trucks for this problem! I repaired the problem myself. If I had to pay some one to fix this problem it would have cost in the range of $700-$900.
