alright guy, kind of freaking out here, went to fill up gas today and decided to check my oil, i thought i noticed some white residue on the top of the dip stick and though f*****, so i checked again and no more residue oil was clean... then i took off my oil cap... and there was white residue all up on it.... cleaned it up.. shut the hood, kicked the car.. started to cry... then drove home and created this thread
facts that may help.
i did check the EVAP system and all seems normal no residue present
car runs like a champ, feels no different then it ever has
no abnormal smoke or smell from the exhaust
coolant and oil levels have not changed
last time i did a compression test i got 160 PSI across all 6 cylinders on a cold motor, when the motor is warmed up 180 PSI
car has never overheated.... coolant temps stay dead center.
after the short trek home from the gas station i checked the oil and cap again.... residue free.
reading up on the internet people say that oil vapors reaching the cap when its extremely cold like it has been meet moister and create this residue... im hoeing its as simple as this.
any insight?
