White gunk on oil filler cap??
Posted: Sun Feb 13, 2011 2:01 pm
Right, for a while now every time I check my oil there's a white thick goo over the top of the oil filler cap.
At first I thought it was the head gasket but after carrying out a compression test, everything fine.
Its had about 4 oil changes since I've had it so its not as if the oil is old or something.
And I recently fitted a new oil cooler to it so I don't think any water could be getting into the oil
I spoke to a mechanical friend of mine and he said if I'm doing a lot of short journeys (which I do) then its just condensation building up...
Is this true? Or is there something else I need to look for??
Cheers
