Take off the oil filler cap and look down the tube, theres this white-ish stuff on the edges, and when you touch it, it turns into liquid and runs away.

Doesnt smell that great either.

Any idea what this is?

Cheers

 

I think its water residue.

 

Any special way to clean it out ?

 

I just used a shop towel and cleaned as far as my finger would go down....it shouldn't really harm your car so don't worry about it too much.

 

definitely caused by water, i'm not sure of a good way to clean it out though

I agree with the other people. Just wipe it out and don't worry. I flipped when I fist saw that in mine. Turns out that it is just from humidity in the air. I was living in Orlando, FL at the time so we have allot of that

 

Ah awesome, thanks

 

Motor mayonnaise yummy, shoudn't be a real problem, check your oil dipstick though to make sure you don't have any of that crap in your oil pan.
