That's what I'd say...

Damn, I haven't seen anything quite like that in terms of magnitude of raw oil.

****.

I'm not good with prices, I'd say rebuild the whole head though.

Is it oil, or condensation, mixed with carbon.

That looks like oil.

Too thick to be water.

If thats carbon with water, I belive you'd be running a little rich by those pictures. I have water coming out upon startup (i think all cars do this something to do with combustion byproducts and how the catylitic converter does something), but not dark water like that pic.

Re: (HTn00b)

Valve seals, piston rings. one of those two if not both. Just my thought. Providing it is oil, but that is some EXTREMELY black stuff, which makes me sort of side with the carbon and condensation side of things. Unless the oil hasn't been changed in a while
