dubberVR6 0 Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I've been meaning to ask this, but keep forgetting. Just before I changed my oil, I took the oil cap off and noticed a small amount of brown creamy crap on the oil cap. The last time I looked, about 2 months ago, there was nothing. Is this a sign of head gasket failure? Or something else??? The car had been running on the mimimum oil level for about 500 miles, is this just a sign the oil was getting too hot?

dubberVR6 0 Posted November 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Actaully, coolant hasn't dropped, and it is only being used at weekends. I'll prob get a pressure check done when its in for a rolling tune next week. Link to post Share on other sites
