Panicked, What would you do?

My 2000 S has 130K on her, I have owned her for 20 years and have always done my best to keep her in NO EXCUSES condition.

After driving about 120 miles to town she dumped her coolant on the street. In my panic I put coolant in the crankcase. Additional panic and I has her towed to Sunset Porsche in Beaverton.

They drained and added coolant and pressure tested the cooling system and could not find leak, they think they need to run the engine longer to find leak.

Now to the oil issue. They drained and refilled oil 3 times and it is still a "bit milky". My recommended choices;

1) cycle at least two more oil swaps, see hat happens at $1K
2) Remove and disassemble clean and inspect motor foe $20K
3) Remove and install a NEW motor at $23K

Or I could just go get her and tow her home and keep flushing with oil. ( the cooling system leak would still need addressing.


The >$20K fixes are not really available to me.
