Puke Tank Froth
After driving the 20 miles to work this morning, I noticed there was a white milky substance in the oil return tube from the puke tank to the oil pan and a thin film of the same milky white/light brown stuff in the puke tank. It was the first time I have driven the car in three months with the exception of a short 15 mile drive about a month ago. I looked at the dipstick and it looked normal (no froth) and I also checked the surge tank and there was no oily film floating on the coolant. It has been over a year since I changed the oil but I’ve only driven it 400 miles since then.
I’m concerned that it is a head gasket, but could it just be condensation in the oil since it has been so wet lately? It was also fairly cold this morning and the water temp never got above 75C.
What should I be doing to make sure that it isn't something that needs more attention?
Thanks for the help....
