As I was getting ready to drive the 914 to work, for the first time since I rebuilt the motor, I checked the oil and noticed beads of water on the dip stick. It rained pretty heavy yesterday and I belive water got in vent on the oil fill tower. Am I screwed? Am I going to need to pull the motor back apart?

How far is your commute?
Condensation is a real occurrence and can cause water in the oil, especially if you're not driving it far. ConeDodger is right. Change the oil and pay attention to how much water is actually in there, then decide if you have an issue, or if this is 'normal' operation. Rain hats are a good idea too. |
