H20 sludge
I was checking my oil last week and i took the oil cap off and 2 my suprize there was some kind of water sludge type funk in the cap.... I pulled the deep stick and i can see very small oil water seperation on the stick...My firt thought was intake manifold gasket, but i dont think water runs through it...And im sure it could be a head gasket...any help ??? 98 Z LS1 180,000 miles

Warm air holds more moisture than cold air. So when your car cools down this time of year the water has to come out. That's why I change my oil everytime the seasons change. 4 per year. If that's too often then at least every Spring and be sure to go into the Winter with new oil. Regardless of miles since last change.
