hi all,
i thought id replace a few crusty hoses on my 16v and noticed, along with some oily black stuff, loads of mayo-like gunk, obviously oil and water mixed. it was in the large hose from the black plastic filter thing and in the filter thing itself.
The car has no oil in water or water in oil when you check the dipstick and expansion tank for rad. it does not overheat and has not lost any power. the only thing id say is that it seems to put alot of white steam/smoke from the exhaust. i thought this might just be where its been driven hard in its life, worn rings/valves etc.
Its not been looked at since i bought it 6 months ago so i cleaned it all out and cleaned up throttle body and it seems to run a little better now than it did but it wasnt that bad in the first place to be honest.
My question is, is this something bad thats gonna get worse or could it just be condensation from the engine depositing in the breather pipes!!
any advice or thoughts would be a help!!
