But do check the coolant to make sure it perfectly clear."
Leading evidence: 'Check coolant' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check coolant' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suggestion
It would often almost completely fill the spout on my 1964 bug, probably 3-4 ounces.

Suggestion
The water and oil vapors would emulsify and condense on the long, cooler, oil fill spout (similar to the current one on the 996) creating the "mayonnaise" on the cap and down the sides of the spout.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

So thus guy talks about the whit gunk in the top of the oil filling tube when he talks about oil/coolant mix.
Is this true? I have the white oil gunk, I thought it was because I drive 2kms to work and it is the moisture mixing at the top of the tube and making a mayo like substance due to not getting up to temp.
Am I in trouble? Any help is appreciated.

I have been told. "It's usually just oil vapor mixing with water vapor from the crankcase. Wipe it out with a clean rag and drive the car more often than just short trips to bring everything up to operating temp to burn off the water vapor in the oil. It's especially common if it's been cold or you live in a humid climate.
But do check the coolant to make sure it perfectly clear."
"Sorry buddy, please don't shoot the messenger but it sounds like intermix. You probably have a cracked head."
Nah...if it's intermix, all the oil will be "chocolate milkshake" like, and there will also be oil in the coolant (also foamy/greasy milkshake gunk). It sounds more like you've got some moisture/condensation buildup in the filler tube - most likely from short trips, not getting the engine up to full operating temperature for extended periods.
Others have said the same but I made short trips and never had this. Maybe depends on climate/location.
.
So every thread here eventually turns into a discussion of CEF or MOF?
Now this I certainly true.
Trouble? NO, for those of us that drove air-cooled VW beetles in cold climates during winter this was pretty common.
The water and oil vapors would emulsify and condense on the long, cooler, oil fill spout (similar to the current one on the 996) creating the "mayonnaise" on the cap and down the sides of the spout.
It would often almost completely fill the spout on my 1964 bug, probably 3-4 ounces.
I'm pretty sure that it wasn't a cracked head causing the intermix on the VW.
"There are still people who think a liquid-cooled 911 is [not good]...they think the 993 was the last good one...those people are old geezers with a Nokia 3210 because it has buttons."
Ha!
