Another (and more concerning) reason for the milky residue is because coolant has mixed in with the engine oil. This is a serious concern that could indicate a head gasket leak or engine damage. When engine oil is contaminated, this significantly reduces its ability to provide lubrication and may quickly lead to engine failure. here
At our auto repair shop, we typically see this due to condensation in the engine. This happens more often during weather changes and we also see it in cars where clients don't drive it a lot. Driving short trips doesn't allow the engine enough time to burn off the water vapours. Over time, this milky sludge builds up and accumulates. Your technician may suggest running a chemical through the engine to clean out this sludge, and you can help by driving the car for a longer duration.
Look under your engine oil cap and you may see a milky, frothy residue. There are a couple of reasons for this — one being more serious than the other. In either case, it's not ideal for your engine.
For our clients who primarily drive short trips, we recommend taking the car out for a good drive where the engine can reach operating temperature and maintain that long enough to burn off the water vapours. Luckily for us in Markham (Ontario) there's a few good shopping malls within 30 minutes of highway driving so that gives us someplace to go! If your spouse has a longer commute, give him or her the car once every week or two so that they can take the car to work. Remember that the worst thing for a car is to have it sit for long periods, drive it periodically or use it for frequent short trips. Your car is designed to work and be driven!
If you notice water droplets on the oil cap in addition to the milky residue, then most likely it's just condensation. If you have other symptoms including the need to top up coolant frequently, brownish colouring in the coolant reservoir, or white smoke coming out of the exhaust, then coolant may be mixing with the engine oil. You will definitely need to bring your car in for service before the problem gets worse!
check the drain plug on the motor and see if there was water left in over the winter.
You've got a unique setup there. Three Carbs right?
Don't suppose you could post some photos of the 170 engine and 270T, I've never seen either. Is the power trim working? more

One thing to note before I close this topic is that this condition can also be caused by “short tripping.” Short tripping is when the vehicle only gets driven a short distance and rarely gets up to operating temperature. This causes a buildup of condensation inside the crankcase, which can exhibit the exact same symptom of oil that looks like chocolate milk. [links]
Another symptom you might run into is milky oil, or oil that looks like frothy chocolate milk. This is usually the result of coolant or water mixing with the oil. This could be caused by a leaking head gasket, a leaking intake gasket, an oil cooler leak, or some other instance where coolant can leak into the crankcase and not directly into the combustion chamber. This is bad, because the oil will not be able to lubricate properly if it’s contaminated with coolant or moisture. more
These leaks can be harder to track down because they are internal leaks. The best way to confront these is to start with the easy stuff and take it from there. For instance, start by removing the intake manifold and inspecting the intake gasket for leaks before going for the head gasket. Or, if you have an oil cooler, check it for leaks first before digging deeper into the engine.

To address this issue, take the vehicle on a nice long drive to purge the condensation from the crankcase. If it was an internal coolant leak that caused the problem and you’ve completed the repair, I recommend you change the oil. I do this after just about all major engine work. Then I recommend you take the car for a long drive to make sure the repair took and the problem has been addressed. If you still see signs of coolant in the oil, change the oil again, take it for a drive and recheck. If you still have it then, you might need to keep looking for the source of the leak.
