Oil cap

Re: Oil cap
My guess is short trips and motor not up to temperature long enough to
release the water. The 200 mile ride might be overdoing it but a 20 to 50
mile one will tell the story. If it's gone after the ride then it's just
the short trips.

Re: Oil cap
Looks to me that someone put lithium grease on the cap thread so it would
come off easier. Suggest you wipe this crap off and drive the car for a day
or so; see if it recurs. Also, look into the hole at the lubricant on the
lifters; does it look just like the stuff on the cap?

So should I clean cap before or just drive some 50 miles, and then see
if it is gone?
