Johnny,How much oil,Is it engine oil or is it combustion byproducts.
Check it before startup and see if is motor oil ,or does it have a gasoline/exaust smell.If it smells like gasoline/exhaust it is combustion byproducts some is fairly common.You might try and re torque the head bolts and remove all you can floating on top of the antifreeze with a turkey baster.Then see how long it takes to come back.If it comes back fast you need to plan on replacing the head gasket in the future.

Good morning, Den N Ms: The engine has a flat head, no oil passages go through the head gasket.
