 Milky oil I need to check my valve lash so I pulled my valve covers. On the #2 head, stbd, right, the one with the vent to carb, I found some milky oil in the lower corner just below springs. I checked dipstick no milky, drained oil no milky. Disassembled valve cover breather box and found water and milky oil.
Has anyone ever come across this?
I'm guessing condensation but hoping some of y'all can help me out.
It's a horizontal Vanguard 61c.i. B.B. '08 or so. Mikunni flat slide, Tau-ceti tornado flame arrestor and an outerwear pre filter and Boat Dr. Rain guard.
Thanks for any help. I have learned a lot from y'all hoping this is no big deal.

Re: Milky oil Similar post was posted not long ago, and im almost 100% it was ruled as being just condensation. But that looks like ALOT of milky oil/watery oil. If you're in the south its probably normal, cause yesterday it was 80* and tomorrow it will be 30*

Re: Milky oil Condensation from rapid thermal change. Hot to cold temps or Vice versa; or a quick run time without the engine getting to fully operation temp.
