Milky Oil Cap

Hi Guys, Im running E85 (which causes some condensation) and I cant see any any change in oil (visually) / radiator - but my oil cap is covered as is my valve cover...

Am I in trouble? Seems like a lot....

Thoughts?

next to your Got E85 sticker you need a Got Milk sticker that will solve everything. How often do you do oil change, a buddy should be this as well after only 1000miles of using e85.

Normally means you have a blown headgasket and oil in you water as a result-- guess that last HWY pull to redline did you in...

If the oil on the dip stick is fine, you're fine. It's just condensation from running E85. It gets in the oil, as any other fuel would, but it attracts water. Then the oil gets hot, and the water evaporates out, leaving the goop on the valve cover..
