So thus guy talks about the whit gunk in the top of the oil filling tube when he talks about oil/coolant mix.
Is this true? I have the white oil gunk, I thought it was because I drive 2kms to work and it is the moisture mixing at the top of the tube and making a mayo like substance due to not getting up to temp.
Am I in trouble? Any help is appreciated.

I have been told. "It's usually just oil vapor mixing with water vapor from the crankcase. Wipe it out with a clean rag and drive the car more often than just short trips to bring everything up to operating temp to burn off the water vapor in the oil. It's especially common if it's been cold or you live in a humid climate.
But do check the coolant to make sure it perfectly clear."

"Sorry buddy, please don't shoot the messenger but it sounds like intermix. You probably have a cracked head."
Nah...if it's intermix, all the oil will be "chocolate milkshake" like, and there will also be oil in the coolant (also foamy/greasy milkshake gunk). It sounds more like you've got some moisture/condensation buildup in the filler tube - most likely from short trips, not getting the engine up to full operating temperature for extended periods.

So every thread here eventually turns into a discussion of CEF or MOF?
According to the video, my Michellin Pilot Super Sports are cheap rubber because they are not "N" rated and I don't like my car.

The water and oil vapors would emulsify and condense on the long, cooler, oil fill spout (similar to the current one on the 996) creating the "mayonnaise" on the cap and down the sides of the spout.
It would often almost completely fill the spout on my 1964 bug, probably 3-4 ounces.
I'm pretty sure that it wasn't a cracked head causing the intermix on the VW.

"There are still people who think a liquid-cooled 911 is [not good]...they think the 993 was the last good one...those people are old geezers with a Nokia 3210 because it has buttons."
Ha!
