This looks like oil and water whipped together. What is it doing in my oil filler neck on an air-cooled engine? Do I have a condensation issue somewhere? Has anyone encountered this before? It is a 3.6 993 engine with 914-6 oil tank.

My -6s will get a bit of that 'goo', though never that much. Probably after some humid weather and a short run that didn't burn off all the moisture in the oil tank.
Than again, you always have to be looking for coolant leaks in a flat -6! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) I found the oil gets hotter, sooner, when I let it idle versus driving it. Beside we have salt on the roads in the winter.... I do it specifically to burn off the moisture. I also change my oil each spring regardless just to get all the moisture out. This is a 3.2 |
