I checked the oil in my car today and found that there appears to be water in it. I don't mean in the filler neck I mean the dipstick.
It doesn't smell like anti-freeze so I believe it is pure H2O.
I ran through a rare November rain storm yesterday and I was wondering if this water could have entered the engine through the vent tube in the oil filler neck as mine is not connected to anything. I checked the coolant level and found that it is right up.
I will do a quick change this morning and see if that clears it up.
I read a thread about hookingup th event tube but got lost after the first sentence does anyone have any pictures of how it should look?

I've seen the creamy crud on my dipstick before. I panicked, but I had to drive the car home. Upon getting home it was gone.

Sometimes it's condensation that's gotten into the oil and stirred up. Let the engine while warm for a bit and it might clear up. It did for me. If it doesn't, then you may have bigger problems.

 

I changed the oil this morning before going home and drove the 30 miles to my house at about 70 mph and their was just a very little left in there. I will get it pressure checked on Friday and see if I have a seal gone. If I do I will just get a used engine from the wrecker ( only $150.00 cdn).

DAMN! that is cheap! How much to ship em to texas?

How about 13B's?

 

I haven't seen many 13b's lately, we have a very reasonable auto wrecker in Calgary. It is self serve and all the parts prices are listed on the wall ie all engines $150.00.
They usually get a rex at least once every week or so.
Shipping to Texas might be expensive but since I dispatch trucks for a living I may be able to come up with a deal here and there.
