Whats this crap Comming out of my valve cover????
Just recently began boosting.... and i dont have a real catch can installed yet so i decided to just tube off the valve and connect it into a clear water bottle for now.... I drive my car daily and I always pop my hood at the end of the day to check if everything is in order.... and i began to notice this clear yellowish crap in the clear water bottle...is this normal ?
I went to the 408 runz last night and when i got home and checked the bottle again... it was a even thicker yellowish liquid..... is my coolent mixin with my oil??? how do i fix this??

Take the valve cover off and take a picture. Almost looks like coolant is in the oil, but hard to tell since there is only a little fluid.

the water is probably from the condensation and its probably brownish/dirty looking because well look where its coming from,,not the cleanist place in the word..
BUT to be 100% check the oil and coolant to see if they're mixing...
Also i gotta ask,,hows the manifold holding up so far?

Me.Speaker= My manifold is holding up real well... Phil from Spoolinperformance went over the welds and bored the WG port last year... No problems at all

does it smell like gas? or coolant? both have distinctive smells.
and from the PCV thread: "The contents of fluid collected inside the catchcan was mostly unburnt fuel and contaminants with very little oil. "
