Water in Oil
Hi All,
I have had my Cobra sitting in my garage for 6-8 weeks. We have had a ton of rain within that time so no drives during the weekend. We finally had a nice Saturday so I took my car for a spin. before taking off I checked my oil and noticed a bit of, condensation I think, on the dipstick and also on the inside of my valve cover breather. There was also a tiny bit of milky oil on the inside of the breather. The oil itself on the dipstick looked good. I drove it for about a 1/2 hour then returned home. I checked the dipstick again and noticed a little bit of milky oil on the stick. So, could this just be condensation in the motor due to the large amount of moisture in the air lately and it not being started for quite awhile? Or something worse?
The motor is a cast iron 427 S/O block with Dove HR aluminum heads and a aluminum intake. It has about 1700 miles on it.
If I do have water in my oil from an engine problem what is the best process to start checking things? I know it could be intake to head gasket leak, blowm head gasket, cracked head?
Thank for the help.....
Mike
