Crankcase Ventilation (score: 1): Author: David Sylvain <niosh@pop.ma.ultranet.com>; Date: Mon, 11 Jan 1999 22:27:44 -0500; Being rather new to the List, I don't know if crankcase ventilation has been discussed already.

Oil vapor alone leaves just an oil film; the "goop" you are seeing sounds like a mixture of oil and water (which, I know, don't mix, but you know; /html/mgs/1999-01/msg00701.html (10,914 bytes)

Short trips or long trips? Maybe you're not evaporating all the moisture in the crankcase, or inside the valve cover in this case.
