Coolant in oil!
#2
I have the same stuff - see my post on 'Yellowish Goo' I posted this morning. The response I got was that some of this is normal? One big difference is mine is only in the hose between the oil filler assembly and the air plenum.
Are you losing coolant? If not I'd try running the car until it is at normal temp, shut it off and remove the oil cap and let the moisture escape. You could also when the engine is hot, drain the oil, remove the oil cap and blow "dry" compressed air back through the crankcase. I would try doing this from the drain hole. Be sure to drain the air compressor and use a dryer as compressed air will have a higher moisture content than normal air. Be sure you have the oil filler cap off as you could very easily blow one of the various rubber hoses loose with too much pressure.
Good luck and let me know what happens.

hey ats... i recently spent the weekend in orlando with jason there and his car (fla951) and he has been losing coolant out his wazoo... sucks that we didnt realize this earlier. he has a huge mess to clean up... but he was getting good oil pressure, so i dunno whats going on inside his crankcase, i know hes got alot of water in there, and its probably going to take FOREVER to clean out, not to mention a fortune in mobil 1. jason use the cheapest mobil 1 you can find not just cheap oil, you'll want the synthetic in there to clean things up. new head gasket here he comes! <img src="graemlins/crying.gif" border="0" alt="[crying]" /> <img src="graemlins/crying.gif" border="0" alt="[crying]" /> <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" />
