Blown head gasket? :(
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hello!

I'm doing valve cover gasket job and, while having fun working on the air intake, I've found the hose of the PCV system just forward the oil filler cap like the attached image.

There aren't spots of oil in the water and the oil colour in the dipstick isn't milky.

Must I cry because I'll face a head gasket job?

Thanks!

Don't worry too much.

A bit of condensation in the breather pipes is normal and they often don't get hot enough for the condensate to burn off....thus the milky residue.

Cheers
DD
