I remember seeing a similar goo in my 70 bug oil funnel. I vagely remember reading on a forum what caused it, but just can't remember now.

I have my tranny at Dr Evil's shop so i decided to drain the oil and add the taco plate with a sender today. oil in the pan is fine but when i went to re- fill i found a brown mayo in the funnel.

Anyone know what causes this?

makes sense. The last time it ran was for just a few minutes, after I adjusted the valves before I pulled the tranny. The exhaust got hot enough for me to wait a while before I removed it to remove the tranny.

Once I am running again, I'll make a point to see what it looks like.

Thanks for reminding me..... that it is water from condensation. And the vapor will escape once I drive to work, or once take her for a test drive and pop the cherry on the new Dr Evil tranny. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
