If I take a flashlight and shine it down, the whole filler neck is dry and fine rusty. The dark section you see in the pic is where I just put a bit of oil in a few minutes ago.
I've never seen this before with my previous 951's.
You'd think with the oil mist in the crankcase it would always stay lubed up.

My headgasket is fine.
What I've got is dry rust.
When you scrape your finger along the inside of the filler neck, I get a small amount of rusty residue on my finger.
Strange.
On my other previous 951's the inside of the filler was always dark/damp.

It’s not rust.........That is cooked oil. I have seen a little in my AOWS on my 951. just wipe it out...It forms on the back of my BMW 325Xi oil cap....oil change interval on a BMW per the manual is 15,000 miles..(I don't do that) special synthetic oil...
