Foaming oil The oil coming out of my breather tube (very little) But it is a thick foam. I know there is a oil additive to stop this but is this a bad thing? I don't know if it is foaming anywhere else. Does anyone know the name of a productor where to get it!
Re: Foaming oil I havent been getting it latly, just every once in a while. I got cometic mls gaskets and arp studs so i think my heads are on tight.

You can get the tool for about $20 at most auto parts stores. Me thinks you may need a new head gasket.

Re: Foaming oil I got the tan colored goop under my oil cap...I posted a thread about it...
The oil on the dipstick looks fine, I thought it was coolant leaking somewhere, my coolant levels seem to be lower in the cooler months too for some reason...
Still doing the research on that...
