Default 2002 MAZDA TRIBUTE Milky coolant, no engine oil or trans fluid contamination

HELLO

The upper coolant hose raptured and as I was removing the hose I encountered a milky substance in the cooling system, no milky substance in the engine oil or the transmission fluid.. I doubled checked.. I removed the intake, spark plugs and the the valve covers and saw no signs of milky substance in the insides.. The timing chain and the camshafts look clean, took a look at the spark plug holes and no evidence of coolant or milky substance.. Has anyone experienced this.. I will be replacing radiator and the hoses and flush the cooling system.. Thank you in advanced..

Welcome to the forum.

You should do a coolant chemical service test.
