Creamy oil cap

[redz]

I have just bought my first 911 and its fantastic (02 with 19k), I gave it a bit of a run today and then removed the oil filler to find a creamy coloured susbatance around the cap, o` no I hope thats not the head gasteket on its way out I thought, so quickly rang the dealer who sold me the car who told me that it is only condensation and nothing to worry about , Umm should I be worried ?

Thanks

Sorry to be a thick ooo

RMS ? whats that

[fidgits]

RMS - rear main seal... and no it isnt..
(that leaves a big puddle of oil on your driveway)

the garage was right, just condensation (as long as its only a thimble-full)

Sorry Redz it is a cruel joke to all 996 drivers to quote Rms as the source of all problems, its really not a problem in moderation, I assume your car has been having short journeys, just take it for some long blasts and all will be well.

Great news i was a bit worried,
thanks for your help
