While changing the push rod tube seals yesterday I noticed my oil was milky.
It looked like a blown head gasket from a water cooled car!!!
What could have caused the milkiness?

BTW I will be replacing oil with Brad Penn before I drive it again.
I picked up a case today.

Water. Condensation most likely.

Common on air-cooled motors that are driven mostly for short distances where the motor never heats up to operating temp.

Looks like it's time for an oil change!

As I said in your classified thread... laugh.gif

You're not driving you car long enough for the motor to get hot enough to burn off that condensation. From the Florida humidity most likely.

Flush it a couple of times, running it for 40-50 miles, all at one time, between each change. Then put the good stuff in ....................

It's a Porsche, get it up to operating temp and drive it like you stole it!
