Sorry to say but you've got real problems by the sound of it. Three main ways coolant can mix with oil are; blown head gasket, cracked head, cracked block. None of these is an easy fix although the blown head gasket is by far the most preferable and cheapest to remedy.

There might be a simpler reason for your problem but I'm not aware of it. Maybe others will know more than I do, which wouldn't be hard.

Good luck.

Greg.

Is your oil milky? How long has it been since the motor was last started/run?

It could be just from condensation in the motor, do an oil change and if there oil keeps turning white, then you've got problems. Blown head gasket, warped head, etc.

Edit: Don't run your motor for too long with the milky oil. The oil no longer lubricates like it should and cause damage to your motor if it already isn't damaged..

      To back this up, I'm always looking on the outside, seeing the level, and then opening it up anyway, as I'm worried the level I've looked at, is more so a scunge line. Then you end up dipping your damn finger in it too depending on the type of tank you're looking at just to make sure I'm not going insane.   PS, Mark, polish up the none moroso one a bit and then give it a clear coat. The Moroso one looks to be way shiner (not mirror polished, just shinier) and it'll still look weird with the two different alloys beside each other. Either that, or Id probably paint them a flat black...

      Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.

      Looks great, but I'm always concerned that it makes it difficult to see what level the fluids are at. Am I overthinking this?
