Mr. The milk will spoil if you leave in the heat for this long. It would be, if you add it between "leave" and "in".

Thanks -- it was a typo.

In my neck of the woods, people often use turn with milk.

The milk turned last night.

That's also possible. Wordings seem to vary by region. Others in use include: The milk will go off, go bad, or turn bad.
