Hey ....I need to learn how to read my oil (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)
You know those charts with pics for sparksplug conditions?
normal/worn/too hot/preignition?
is there the same thing for oil condition?
I need a link ...or I need you guys to tell me what white gummy oily stuff is a result of.
Thanks.

WATER

and, unless you got a wasserpumper in there, it ain't a leaking headgasket ...

on aircooled engines, usually "condensation".
meaning, yer engine doesn't get hot for any longer period of time, which is *not* gud ...
too many short runs to the liquor store down the street in cold weather.

or, you tried to pressure-wash yer engine.

Yeah what Andy said. Sounds like you got water in your oil somehow. Leave the filler cap off on a rainy day?

If it's on the dipstick, you got a problem. If it's only on the oil filler cap, you're not getting the engine hot enough to burn out the condensation. More long drives on some twisty roads does wonders. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
