Is it normal ? I did a fluid check today.
Pulled off dip stick and notice small spots of water not a whole lot enough to say it was because of climax if that's even a possibility. I hadn't start my Camaro since Friday afternoon and it's been cold and rainy here in the bay.
I cleaned dip stick and pulled it off again and I didn't find any more evidence of water.
Drove it for about 15 minutes and checked again and dip stick clean with only oil on.
Is this normal ?
Also, after running for 15 minutes when I removed dip stick I notice smoke coming out. Again, this is after running car 15 minutes and fully warmed up car
I'm sure some heat sign possibly normal, it didn't have a smell.
Car has 120k
Manual 6speed
And it's always service on time

Honestly it's normal, short drives tend to build moisture in the motor, most notably on the top of the oil cap and top of the dipstick. It evaporates on long drives, it's normal.
