#17: Re: Is this normal? Author: jonny_fulton03, Location: LeedsPosted: Fri Mar 11, 2011 1:46 pm ---- Thats the funny thing! The cars due an oil change so the oil is on its way to black but the residue on the cap is cream coloured! And nothing on oil filler cap. Would having TOO MUCH coolant in there have an effect like this? Ill get it to a garage to get it flushed out and replaced and ill put some k-seal in the oil when i get it changed as ive got a slow oil leak. Temporary fix but will hopefully keep any catastrophies at bay for a while...:-)

But yeah ive read on here that the mayo substance is a sign of head gasket failure
Hope you get to the bottem of it

change coolant and oil and keep checking it to see if same thing happens soon after.

Also you can try to take some oil from the engine and poor some on a cup of coolant and see if you can duplicate the color and smell

I thought k-seal is for cooling systems only? Not for oil leaks?
