Does this look like there’s coolant in my oil?

2022 Telluride. Bought it in 2024 with 28k miles.

Since we bought it we have been dealing with slow loss of coolant. Level below L in the overflow reservoir can be seen every 5k miles or so.

I have topped it off twice in one year.

I keep looking for leaks anywhere but nothing. No coolant on the ground, no residue anywhere along the hoses.

Yesterday I did an oil change. Today the dipstick looks like this. What’s the consensus? Coolant in the oil yes, no?

Looks fine to me. Are you filling the coolant when the car is completely cool to the max lime?

I am filling slightly above middle after idling engine for 5 min. Slightly below F line basically.

I should note both times I topped off (one of those was yesterday) it was below L line after engine was up to temp.

Fill it to the max line first thing in the morning when the engine is completely cold. I had to fill mine as well. Seems to be air pockets in the coolant.
