From my last post about this there were many of you that were re-directing me out of the possibility that I had a minor head gasket leak (driving small amounst of coolant into the oil). You were all refferring to my coolant loss as being due to other things, like rad leak etc...

Just wondering, noone explained the white swirls in the oil after I drained it, nor the white paste under the oil cap. Note that my 940 (in comparison to my 240) has no white paste under the oil cap in the cold weather, so condensation is not the cause. Also last year, in the same arctic weather, I did not have this problem.

Still thinking I have a head gasket leak. Sorry to be stubborn, just looking for more convincing.

Thanks!
