No such luck
 
Hey guys. New to the site but here goes nothing.

Have a 98 grand Cherokee Laredo 5.2 V8 that I absolutely can not get to stop overheating and spewing coolant. Thermostat is good, water pump, radiator, fan clutch, radiator hoses all replaced. However it does look like there is a small film on the radiator cap especially when it has overheated(possibly stopleak)Also my oil has a chocolate milk look to it until I clean the dipstick off and then the oil looks dark on the paper towel.

I love this jeep but at this point I really just want to roll her off a cliff. What's the chances of the overheating issue being caused by a blown head gasket or what else could it possibly be?!? help!!!

highly possible head gasket, coolant may not be overheating as much as its being pressurized by combustion gasses. get a combustion gas test and thatll tell you real quick

Where can I get the test at?

I rented one for free from the local Autozone. A trusted mechanic can do it as well.
