This is the pic from the side of my oil filter - i have wiped from of the sludge form the bottom

I cant seem to find any type of leak anywhere else. could it be oil filter not on tight enough or on too tight and broke the O-ring?

Yeah I know, but in the sense of maybe left over oil was there, or the dirty is getting in contact with the coolant before it dries, just a suggestion to eliminate another possibility

Contact is not enough to make a milky oil+coolant mix. If you drop coolant over oil, the coolant just floats on top.

Any other thoughts? Before i got to a mech?

Reading is good

no residue on dip stick or oil cap... there only residue on the bottom side of oil filter....
