Yay... I have milky oil under my oil filler cap.
No... not worried, no smoke, no coolant loss, no sign of water on dipstick. Just looks to be the typical behaviour of these engines when doing short trips in winter.
2 questions...
1. whats the easiest way to get rid of it? drive hard? if so, how long for? how hard?
2. what causes it? i know its condensation, but where does the condensation come from? i've heard its likely condensation from the intercooler, blowing by the piston rings.... but how does it find its way into the oil?
Its frustrating when you're trying to sell the car but a know-it-all mechanic wannabe writes the car off as having done a gasket (it hasnt, serviced just a few weeks ago).
