Mercruiser 470 has lost all coolant. Manifold has crack but is that why I have milky oil?

could be.

could also have a leaking water pump seal because the cam snout has a groove in it (common issue)

could have also lost the head gasket. as little as a 10 degree overheat is all it takes for the head gasket to go bad.

how did your exhaust manifold get a crack in it?
