The car was servieced less than 700 miles ago but im going to whip the sump off to double check.

I only drive a 4 mile round trip to work and back every day then + what ever I do in the evenings!?

On closer inspection one of the pipes going to my oil catch can had completely kinked  :undecided: so Ive rerouted the pipe work, would this of had any effect?

Since wiping the stick and and filler cap clean, Ive only had a very slight dusting of gunk!? no where near as bad as before

Well thats good news I'm guessing it must have been condensation and a kinked pipe work to produce that much mayo! wiping it all away and changing the oil must defo fix it, even dropping sump to clean it all out will fix it too.
Glad its all sorted panick over  :smiley:
