water in oil, pretty sure its not coolant
I changed my oil about 300 miles ago, checked it yesterday and there was like 2 drips on the dipstick so i was like "**** there goes my engine" I took the oil cap off and it was dripping water and the fill tube had drips all over. does not smell like coolant at all, no green and i changed my coolant last year so its 50/50. its running fine with no smoke or sweet smell out the exhaust. its just way too much to be condensation, i can pull the cap off and shake the water out. the drips on the dipstick are clear but somewhat slimy. my coolant is fine, no bubbles when running or revving. Theres only a few things i can think that would affect it, i premix and at 3k miles i have quite a bit of gas in the oil. I also finished up taking all the emissions off, i think 2 vac lines now.

Oh and i dynoed it like 2 weeks ago and it was smoking quite a bit, I disconnected the pcv line to the intake and capped the intake and left the pcv line open (oil was like a quart high from fuel so i figured it was getting sucked in). it stopped smoking but im thinking its possible that water somehow ran down the pcv line...
