996 C4S Oil Concern

[Sebsea]

Hi I've been a porsche owner for the past 7 years, having boxsters before purchasing a 996 C4S which is my pride and joy.

I've a concern about when i topped up my oil level, under the fillercap the small amount of oil looked slightly milky on the filler pipe, when i checked the dipstick the oil was perfect....i know the milky oil seems to suggest there's water getting into the system, could this be condensation or does this sound like a major problem in the making. The car isn't losing oil as i'd see it on my garage floor!!!

My 996 C4S is on a 53 plate, Sept 03, 26000mls, FPSH last serviced in Sept last year with 22000 mls on her

I hope you guys/gals can help

Thanks in advance

Thank you very much, i did clean the pipe and will keep an eye on it.

I'm also looking for a 997 C2S, you sound like you know your porsches can you give me an idea on a spec to go for? And what price i should pay for a mid 05 model?

Thanks again i'll get a sleep tonight now

Take her out for an "Italian tune up"

Short journeys where the car can't get fully up to temp can lead to mayonnaise forming, a good warm up and "ahem" clear out helps.

I'm hearing you, nothing sounds quite like those sports pipes above 5000 rpm

Yum.... Actually held mine in third for two minutes the other day to clear her out a bit.... Seems like bloomin ages

Did the trick though
