I changed the water pump on my 2005 Buick le sabre, afterwards the oil was

you may have a blown head gasket. or an engine block crack. it could be a relatively difficult task of removing the top end of the engine block and simply placing a new head gasket. or maybe not. only way to tell is to take it apart
