I found some yellowish white foam on the bottom of my oil cap. Is this a sign of something bad?
Also, I found a lot of oil in my intake tube, the MAF and TB were pretty much soaked. I think it might be a bad PCV because the only way oil can make it into the intake tube is through that tube. My reasoning is that if the PCV was shut, then pressure would escape though the driver side valve cover breather forcing oil with it. The driver side breather also had that yellowish foam in the tube with a little condensation too.
Any thoughts on this, the car did have a bad idle, but cleaning the oil out of the intake tube helped. I am more concerned with the foam on the oil cap though. The coolant level is fine and there isn't any white smoke from the exhaust (yet).
Thanks,
Brad
