If I'm not misstaken isn't that a sign of water in my oil? I didn't have my phone handy or I would have taken a picture. It looked like a white snot on the inside of my oil cap. i checked the oil in the drain pan it looked normal (no white stuff). Is that a sign of a blown head gasket?

 

Normal - short drive cycles = condensation

And - it ain't snot

 

Yep short drive cycle. Engine doesn't get hot enough to evaporate all the condensation. Mine did it some time ago and I thought the same thing you did and posted it here and was told this also. Now I just take the scenic route if I go somewhere close. Haven't seen the 'snot' since.

 

A fresh PCV valve will help minimize it but if you do not drive long enough to boil of those condensables it will still occur.

Exactly.

 

snot..

 

Thanks for the heads up =) I'm happy that's all it is.

"snot" LOL... Sorry guys, that's what it looked like and for a lack of a better word that's what came to mind. Glad some of you got a kick out it =)
