Gear Oil In Cooling System?

anybody have a pic of how ATF and coolant mixed together look like? (after it's been mixed up in crank case)...does it mix together well? or will it seperate after drained? 

 

I checked my oil today and it looked different.... kind of creamy compared to the clear dark red of fresh ATF.  I am not sure how coolant and ATF look like when mixed together in a gear box.  Does it make the gear oil look like it has a bunch of tiny whitish bubbles?(frothy? "emulified"?)

 

I was trail riding my bike...(4th,5th 6th gear) for about 40 miles  within 2 days. 

I did forget to turn off my gas for about 3 days.  Last time I forgot the gas, I had fuel/gunk coming out the exhaust for a few minutes after I finally got it started.  

 

Is it possible for gas to fill cylinder, make it past piston rings into the crankcase(and create odd looking oil)?  or classic case of coolant in oil?

(I checked my coolant and it was pretty much all the way to the top...added less than 1/2oz to top it off)

 

does it just take a very tiny amount of coolant in ATF to create a milky condition?
