Re: WTF is this ?
 

oil is fine. thats the first thing i checked.

compression isnt great but consistent.


i have a catch can on it, with oem fittings on the back of the block.

car has a small coolant leak at the radiator, so i im not sure if im loosing any inside the motor. ill fix that today and see what happens. its cold here and i usually drive w/o the fan on. coolant temps never go over 200 and it takes it some time to get up there. :-\


condensation, thats what my dad is telling me but im thinking its the rings. never thought it was headgasket.

Re: WTF is this ?
 

Well do you always have that build up? Or just once and a while.

Re: WTF is this ?
 

no, first time i've seen it. i changed the oil in it like a month and a half ago and nothing was there.


i was gonna work on it today but it ------- snowed. >:(

my friend said he'll let me borrow his leak down tester so i'll see where im at for sure.


thanks guys. :)

Re: WTF is this ?
 

I notice that on my Volvo but changed the oil and it was squeeky clean.

Re: WTF is this ?
 

i have that expansive royal purple ----, 10w-30 i think. could that have anything to do w/ it ?

Re: WTF is this ?
 

ANY oil when mixed with waters gonna get all funky....


Youre fucked.

:6

Re: WTF is this ?
 

I have the same problem. Just in the winter time when the condensation is upped.

Re: WTF is this ?
 

lol, headgaskets arnt ---- you fat bastard.


will see what the real deal is once the weather clears up. :6

Re: WTF is this ?
 

If you haven't had any major problems recently, it's prob just condensation or one of the other small things. Oh, and did you say you changed your oil a month and a half ago? how much do you drive??

BTW, 93 hatch did I mention your avatar seriously ------- scares me?

Re: WTF is this ?
 

yeah, i dont drive much. maybe like 5/600 miles a month on average.
