Title: Is it normal??
Post by: matthewbellamy on July 13, 2011, 02:54:40 PM
Hey guys!
 
Was doing the oil filter change/sparkplug service the other day and we lifted off the top of the oil filler cap (metal) and noticed tiny spots of condensation on the screw top.. we also found a little bit of condensation when we removed the elbow pipe which is the one connected to the throttle body leading down into another pipe linking to the front intercooler.. Its only a very tiny amount but was wondering if this is normal? Quite worried as im wondering if maybe a water seal could be broken or water is getting into the oil somehow which could be disastrous..
 
I think its maybe that the engine gets too hot and maybe heats the oil more than it should causing steam to rise and place itself at the top of the metal filler cap..is my engine not getting enough cooling?
 
So guys... Is this normal?
