The inside of the cap also has little rust coolor showing. When I drained the oil, there was no visible water in the oil. I have never seen water in an oil cap like this before. Is this just condensation, or do I have a problem?   Joey (Joey4420) Senior Member Username: Joey4420 Post Number: 594 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Tuesday, March 02, 2004 - 07:40 pm:    Condensation. I have it in my cap too.   Brent (Silly_me) Member Username: Silly_me Post Number: 120 Registered: 07-2003 Posted on Wednesday, March 03, 2004 - 11:31 am:    Do you drive a lot of short trips? Take it out on the hwy every now and again to get it up to proper working temp, it'll burn off the condensation.   Joey (Joey4420) Senior Member Username: Joey4420 Post Number: 599 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Wednesday, March 03, 2004 - 12:10 pm:    hmmm I must drive it longer then....my normal drives are around 1 to 2 hours one way...guess I am just not getting it up to temp I promise to try harder on my next drive....
