Strange build up Here's the deal. Due to a DUI charge, I had the car sitting without being driven for a year, with the exception of a couple times. I recently went to change the oil before i started driving it again and its got some really nasty white goo on and below the oil cap area, but not on the dipstick. I went ahead and changed that. I also noticed since it had been sitting that my coolant was extremely low (put about 2-3 liters in), and I have a slight PS leak also. Its a Kansas driven car.. I feel uneasy driving with all that build up in the oil cap area, it looks bad. Any ideas what it is, and how I can go about fixing it? Thanks
id worry if your oil level has a film over it but otherweise your good man, clean it off and youll be good. i did the same thing you did lastyear i stored my car an it made everything leak...lol dunno y?
It is normal to get that crap under the oil cap on a car that sits. But your coolant went somewhere.
Pressure test the system. 2 or more litres is a lot of coolant to be missing.
I don't even want to say it, but I hope it's not a head gasket.
