#1: What is this pipe *PIC* Author: sulli, Location: SheffieldPosted: Thu May 10, 2012 12:03 pm ---- Hello, (2000 206 gti) i have noticed under the oil cap to be a milky substance, the car has been stood for 18 month, first guess was head gasket but as i started to do abit of investing i found this pipe that leads from before the air box to the back of the engine with a split down the middle letting air in and it was full of milky residue so obviously this needs replacing as it is in 3 pieces but could this be the cause to the milkly residue on the oil filler cap?
Thanks all help appreicated

Oh dear, could it be the pipe letting in the condensation in though? Thanks.

That is possible,so do as guys said,replace the pipe with a new one,change oil,and oil filter,and see how things going to be after that.

Do as Spike suggests, do an oil change and run the car for at least 30 miles and see if it clears at all.
