water in the oil
hey guys, i just pulled my dip stick out and the thing is covered in water film, just wondering what the most common causes of this would be? where are the weak points i should check in my engine?

If you take a lot of short trips or leave the oil in there for a long time it can cause some condensation buildup on the dipstick and on the underside of the oil fill cap.

I get the same thing too but my i have no emissions Could I set up a catch can to pull off the Nipple on the filler tube and the other line on the catch can to a vacuum source with a check valve in line so when the car hits boost it wont pressurize the oil pan?
Wouldn't that help take care of the vapours?

well if i got a catch can it would need some way of pulling the vapours out personally i think it would also help pull fuel from the oil possibly helping the bearings in the motor i couldn't see it hurting the intake charge or power levels by burning off abit of excess fuel as it would only pull it when in vacuum and not in boost
