Mike-
There's two things to check: look for water in the oil, and look for oil in the water(cooling system). When water gets into the oil inside your engine, the result is a milky looking oil, especially on your dipstick. The level on the dipstick may be higher than normal, and your radiator may seem to never stay full. You may notice a milky oil film inside your oil fill cap, but that is caused by condensation in the top end, and is normal. To see if oil has gotten into the cooling system, look for either a milky froth, or seperate drops, or "beads", of oil visible in the fluid in the radiator. Oil floats on water, and if it gets into the cooling system, it will end up around the radiator fill neck. Take care ~Chris ------------------ Retired Moderator MustangNet My site: JimPorterRacing RACECAR spelled backwards is RACECAR HEY !!! Are you ASE Certified ??? If you are, ask me about iATN.
