Cream on Oil Cap
Posted: Sun Jan 24, 2010 1:15 pm
Hi Guys,
I went to look at a GTV6 today, which I might want to buy. It hasn't had an oil change for about 18 months, and has been sitting outside, not started, for the past 3 months. It's winter here and there has been a lot of snow and sub-zero temperatures lately. When I took the oil filler cap off the cylinder head cover, there was a small amount of creamy stuff inside the cap and on the rim of the filler hole. Could this just be due to condensation, or is this definitely a sign of head gasket problems?
