it seems to be your flux capacitor exploded, did you go past 88mph?

yea maybe I saw the chocolate milk and started freakin out! But that was just the oil that hit the condenser lines. Oil and coolant looks fine. IDK?

Any other input?

Check the oil level....add what's needed (assuming its low), have someone start it while you watch where it's coming from. No way to diagnose a petroleum orgasm like that from just pics....

K will do. I had a breather on the oil cap that I took off yesterday. I think the breather on the passenger valve cover is blocked so pressure built up and it blew.

I'll pull the breather to see if that's the case and hopefully no more sploosh and douche!

Thanks

Plug your Pcv back into the intake manifold, I had a similar problem when my Pcv was vented, moisture would clogue the line eventually and the bubble would pop and look like a milk shake under the cap and under the hood

Yea if it happens again I'm gonna run a catch can to the rear.

Hoping this was an isolated incident anyway.

when this happened did you have the ac on? If so those lines would have moisture on them therefor why the oil turned that cooler it happens.

yea the AC was on but it was late at night and when I got home no light to really investigate.

I saw the milk shake and jumped to conclusions realized the next day was the issue was. Crankcase wasn't vented and found a way out of my breather tube.
