mayo on dipstick!!! 850

posted by  someone claiming to be bob on  Sat Feb 15 03:22 CST 2003 [RELATED]

i was checking the oil level today and noticed some white/yellow residue on the dipstick (near the top), is this normal???

the oil and filter were changed less than 1000 miles ago and the coolant flushed and changed less than 500 miles ago.

the car does not overheat and it is not losing coolant and there is no residue on the oil filler cap and there are no other signs of head gasket failure.

should i change the oil and filter just as a precaution or am i delaying a major job???

any ideas??

cheers
