A few ways to test for it. You said you allready did a compression check. You can pressurize the cooling system and see if it leaks down, you can get the dye that checks for the presence of exhaust in the antifreeze. You could do a cylinder leak down test and see if bubbles appear in the radiator.

Re: Milky oil, Still!
I have my pvc hose coming from the block into a home made catch can I also have a hose coming from valve cover into the catch can. For some reason it was filled with water, and either of the hoses could have been submerged.
Again I dont suspect the hg. The tuner said even before he did the hg change there was only a tiny hole on the old hg. Im gunna change the oil tm and give it a drive and then see what happens.
Is there anyway to flush the motor out, using some kind of solution?

Marvel mystery will do a pretty good job of cleaning up random ---- that build up from the water, it attracts lots of free radicals.
Stop saying "pvc" you're confusing the hell out of me, aren't you the same dude with the pvc charge pipes? :P

Re: Milky oil, Still!
Just changed the oil and added mystery marvel along with an oil filter change. I ran the car for a good 30 min with a good warm up. I came back checked the oil and instead of a tan milk it was bright white? Should I change the oil again?

If its that milked out I'd say you have a leak from somewhere.
Do a coolant system leakdown and see if that helps. Or take it to a shop and do the hydrocarbons in the radiator test.
It's a little thing that looks like a Geiger counter.
