Here's my problem:

Car sat since November, drove it all last week...
Checked my PCV catch can today- milky crap in it...
Checked my oil this morning (again) top of the dipstick was rusty...
So I went "oh sh*t" my head gaskets gone

Checked my coolant- no oil, smelled normal.
Checked oil- Looks fine, ran motor- still fine... no bubbles or nastiness...
Then I started doubting my head gasket thought...

This is my first winter storing any car, so I don't know if they get condensation or what? (my oil dipstock o-ring is pretty dried out- so moisture could get by it).

I'm going to keep watching it...

Anyway- if anyone has any input I'd appreciate it.

Thats happened on ever oil catchcan I've ever seen. Sounds normal to me.

Ok, good to know...

I'm thinking the rust on the dipstick was because it was moisture getting past the O-ring (it's not a good seal at all)- then being their for 3 months without getting evaporated away...

My friend just got back from getting the coolant tested for gas vapor- nothing...

I stored my car for 2 months prior to installing ls6 heads. After the dyno tuning i drove the car home. The next day i checked my oil. I noticed there was a ring of light creamy rust around the oil filler cap. At first i was concerned,but the oil looked fine. I changed the oil. I have run the car a few times and everything is fine. I read somewhere that moisture could build up under the oil filler cap? For now on,I start the car and drive it every 2 weeks.

This comes up every week or so. It's perfectly normal to have condensation/milky crap/slimy resideue on the underside of the filler cap and such. All 3 of my LS1s have always had this.

Absolutely Normal for a car that was stored.
