This looks like oil and water whipped together. What is it doing in my oil filler neck on an air-cooled engine? Do I have a condensation issue somewhere? Has anyone encountered this before? It is a 3.6 993 engine with 914-6 oil tank.

My -6s will get a bit of that 'goo', though never that much. Probably after some humid weather and a short run that didn't burn off all the moisture in the oil tank.
Than again, you always have to be looking for coolant leaks in a flat -6! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I think part of the problem is that the 3.6L does not have an oil cooler on the engine. I'm running 15 quarts of oil in my cooling system and i need a good 20+ minutes of driving before the thermostat even opens. The oil temp hardly ever gets above 180 ...
