Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

We normally advise cleaning it off so you can monitor it, but it's perfectly normal on cars used sporadically and for shorter journeys.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Been toeing it around the Cotswold's last couple of days, needed to top the oil up a little as a consequence, and noticed a small amount of the dreaded milky film around the oil filler cap - nothing in the header tank though. Oil air separatorperhaps? Also add that it was overall a small amount, and the Wolds had been very damp and misty last couple of mornings. Thoughts appreciated.

POST 2Original post

Mine has it as well on the cap and the tube but my Indy said it's perfectly normal especially as I only mainly do small journeys ;-))

POST 4Original post

Little bit of condensation created by this cold weather creates it. I'll be scraping mine out today.

POST 5Original post

Yes, give it a wipe out - do not lose paper tissue down the oil filler - give the engine a nice warm run and see how 'tis then.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks all, it was my suspicion it was more likely condensation related - will wipe out and keep an eye.
