http://i716.photobucket.com/albums/w...4/7d96f76c.jpg 150k on the clock. Ex mainly gets driven less than a mile a day to the daycare and very little on the weekends. But is my family trip vehicle. We have a 1500mile trip planned in dec. Hope this isn't what I think it is!!! |

It look's like a little condensation in the oil. Change your oil and monitor. My old 5.4 and 5.0 did that in the winter/cooler temps, when I only drove 2 miles a day. The engine didnt get hot enough to evaporate the condensation. Or it could be coolant leaking somewhere. I would change oil and monitor.

Pic where taken after sitting 10hrs if that matters.

I'm hoping it is just condensation. I am affraid it was coolant. I will change the oil this weekend and mark my coolant jug.

If I stare at it long and hard enough, I think I see Jesus. :-X04
All joking aside, change the oil and take it for a long enough drive to burn off moisture and monitor it as others have suggested. |
Condensation
Take that puppy out for a trip of at least 100 miles...just change oil first |
Agree. Just condensation. Oil hasn't gotten hot enough to evaporate.

You might take a look at the PCV valve also

How does the oil look when you pull the dipstick? What does the coolant look like in the degass bottle?
Ok, now comes the Pete-N-Repeat show...change yer oil. :D Stewart |

Yeah. Change your oil, clean up the cap, and when you drive it, make sure you get it up to operating temps and then drive it for another 10 to 15 minutes depending on the outside temps.
Continue monitoring your oil. Stewart |
