Exclamation Got A Good One

Here's the deal 04 FX4 SuperC with 5.4 65000 miles. While performing routine maintenance....oil chacnge, noticed something odd. Before even getting under the truck, I took the oil fill cap of and found what looked like butterscotch pudding, holy@#$%, I thought I was screwed but started thinking and talked to a buddy, we both come to the conclusion the engine is having some vacuum problems probably crank case(low vacuum creates condensation, rises to the top)......ECR valve???? PCV valve??? I assume the latter. Anywho, oil looked good and after removing the @#$% out of the filler hole everything was sat. Anyone had this happen? Any suggestions??

There's a whole thread on that subject posted on 2/22, "Water in the oil That's normal". It is a normal condition.

It is hard to believe, but it is normal. Check out the other thread. As long as the drained oil is fine, you're ok.
