'mayo' under the oil cap doesn't mean its a head gasket, when oil heats up water vaporizes and goes to the high point (the oil cap), so it takes very little moisture to make that happen. I'd change the oil again and add some water-absorber to it. Seafoam works well.
Usually on a car that is only driven short distances the engine does not come up to operating tempurature enough to boil off moisture in the oil, on these cars usually you can see 'mayo' in the cap, is this true of Nicky? -CP
: Ok, at the advice of the local auto parts store I checked the car again... Here's the scoop.
: mayo on the oil cap BUT the oil is just dirty no mayo. I changed it last month so it's wierd. Car is using a QUART of oil every week odd.
: Also using a lot of water. WHAT THE F*** is up???
