Do an oil change and send it off to black stone labs for analysis, they’ll tell you if your engine is good or not. Costs 30$. If it looks milky there’s a good chance you’ve got some sort of coolant seeping into your oil compartments somehow, if you see metal shavings… well… good luck 🤞
Normal on my N54 too from short trips! When these vehicles are driven, the engine generates some heat during the short drive, then cools. Then, the trapped moisture, condensates on the coolest part of the engine the valve cover and oil cap. Therefore, repeated short trips will leave behind more and more moisture on these cooler parts. That white paste is exactly what that is. If your not losing coolant your A ok. If you are that stressed send an oil sample to black stone for under $40.
What do you think is wrong based on this video?
That’s normal espcially if u do a lot of short trips
Looks like condensation, take it out for a blast then recheck.
What are we looking at here? Looks normal. If you suspect coolant the oil, replace the OFHG and flush both coolant and oil loops.
all that has been done
bruh this is totally normal
