I have a minor oil leak. Couple drops a week on the garage floor. I went out and checked them today before taking a drive and there appeared to be some yellow, creamy gunk mixed in.
It has been runregularly once a week or so, but, often, just by backing rear end out of garage to get it up to temperature. (They started salting the streets in November had have not stopped).
Any thoughts on this?
Similar experiences?

sounds like condensation mixed in with the oil.

+1 - Yellow gunk = blend of engine oil and water

My thought, too. Had planned an oil change for this week, anyway.
Also, with weather finally turning (rain washed all the salt away over the weekend) plan to give the engines some work.

Never idle your engine to warm it up. It won;t warm up and condensation will accumulate rapidly. Leave it cold or drive it. Thats it!

If youv'e got emulsion, expect to see some water when you drain the oil.
