Water In The Oil 850 94

posted by  someone claiming to be Paul Craven on  Wed Jan 24 06:55 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I am a newbie to this forum and have a question. While changing oil on my wife's 94 850 Turbo wagon, I noticed tiny droplets of water on the dipstick. The car is driven daily on the highway 35 or more miles, so condensation seems odd. There is no residue on the inside of the valve cover and the oil I drained looked normal. Is this typical or am I looking at a coolant to oil leak? On the negative side, I did have to add coolant which is something new for this car. Help!

Thanks,

Paul Craven

    Why guess? If you pull the dipstick and see evidence of water, then pull an oil sample and have it analyzed. If there is anti-freeze in there, you'll know you have a problem and can get it fixed.

    Does it look like there is water in the oil that was drained? If not maybe it is just condensation.
