yellow foam in oil
i went to do the regular add some oil and behold what do i find yellow nasty foam on the bottom of the cap and down the filler neck. i know it's from moisture, or at least i think i do. but what could it be from, there's nothing loose. i really don't think my vented hood should be cause for concern since it doesn't drip near it, but who knows.

there has been a lot of cold weather and condensation, and come to think of it friday i only drove it for about 3 minutes to the other side of base to do something. i'll check it again tomorrow, if it's there again i'll change the oil before i leave. just glad to know that it's just water like i thought

I'm not saying that it's your motor, but I used to get that white/yellow puss looking thing slobbered all over the filler neck n inside of the cap with my motor with shot O-ring (coolant seal). That time, I did get white smoke at start up, hasitation of upon start and gushing sound coming out of passanger side dash.
After I installed the rebuilt motor all of it went away including the yellow puss.
