Oil issues

[LarrBeard]

A. I'd suspect water in the oil, most commonly caused (and most easily repaired) by a blown head gasket.

B. A oil line leak is also a strong possibility - unless someone spilled oil there . Check up around the back of the oil gauge around the capillary tube and see if you get an oily finger.

Later Entry: I watched the short video as well as the long one. You never show us the bottom of the dipstick, so we bnever see what things look like at the crankcase, but the drained oil gives us a hint. In the short video there was no water separation, which is good. In the crankcase, if the engine has run, contaminated oil will emulsify and take on a creamy appearance.

The oil in the Tupperware pan looks like normal moderately dirty oil. I agree that I don't see any sign of water in it.

The goop at the top of the dipstick is a result of moisture in the incoming air mixing with the oil vapors at the top of the fill tube. Nasty, but normal.

Keep an eye on things, especially oil condition at the bottom of the dipstick.
