#1: Milky/muddy engine oil please help! Author: jamie_206, Location: DoncasterPosted: Wed Dec 15, 2010 8:41 am ---- Hi
I cant check my oil as the dipstick is always covered in thin mud like oil . Which I thought was due to the dip stick seal breaking . Today I opened the oil cap and inside the cap it was full of yellow/white sludge also there was a little steam coming out of the oil filler hole . What does this mean? Ive heard this happens when the head gasket goes but my cars running fine.

#3: Re: Milky/muddy engine oil please help! Author: Seabook, Posted: Wed Dec 15, 2010 8:42 am ---- yes, head gasket blow.
you can also check if you got less coolant and the spark plug as well

Just serviced it last month the plugs were white so running lean and hot . Its started getting hotter than normal . The coolant is a very dark green . And just noticed when idling the exhaust quietly pops now and again missfiring maybe?
So what should I do . Even though it seems fine I guess it would be foolish to ignore it?

#15: Re: Milky/muddy engine oil please help! Author: jamie_206, Location: DoncasterPosted: Wed Dec 15, 2010 10:50 am ---- It dosent seem to be losing coolant but its hard to tell with the usless levels on the header .
