Just checked the oil on my car, not checked it for a while i confess.
There was custard in the dipstick tube. Checked under cam cover and it's clean as a whistle.
I cleaned out the tube and dipstick and all looks fine including oil and coolant levels.
So what couold cause this? Condensation maybe? Is it something to panic about?

As previously said, constant short journeys are the main culprit and cold weather can also contribute to the condensation that will cause the creamy substance.
Just check it again after maybe a decent journey to make sure it doesnt come back, if it does it will cost you bazillions of dollars to put right (at least!).

Phew, panic averted. Was a bit of a shock seeing said custard.
I knew the title would elicit a rapid response!
No hint of custard elswhere. Was last used end of Feb so condensation would appear most likely.
Usual journey is around 7 miles on commute, mostly on dual carriagway so normal get up to temp.

Is it actually custard, or more like mayonnaise?

Damn it, I thought this would be a pre-emptive Custard photo of something totally amazing that we would not otherwise believe..
Thinking the same..........saw Nurse and Custard and naturaly thought ......... Had the same problem last winter and it turned out to be condensation.
