when i drained the oil pan on my 1930 8cyl. ,there was a few cups or so of anti freeze right at the bottom of course.i put 3qts of new oil and then decided to take the pan down and clean all.this second time there was only a few drops of green.maybe a gasket that leaked a little over 15 yrs storage.?
Head gasket, warped head, cracked head, or cracked block. Hopefully just a gasket. Since you have to pull the head, you might as well grind the valves. Of course, once the head is off, and the pan is off, you can pop the pistons out and put in some new rings and check the main and rod bearings. A can of worms? No, just a good opportunity and it won't cost much if you do it yourself.
Have a nice day
