    Hi all, I've had my F for about 4 years now and love it to bits but having got my dream TVR recently im looking at reluctantly selling. But, my car has the dreaded mayo on the dipstick....

    Some backstory, it had HGF shortly after buying, it had the head skimmed, new pipework and relocated thermostat, new updates head gasket and me being very anal and careful to check the fans work yearly.

    For 2 years no mayo, happy days, then slowly but surely I started to get mayo up the dipstick, not chocolaty gloop at the bottom but white stuff up the dipstick from the max mark up.
    I loose no coolant
    It doesn't ever overheat
    Its temp guage sits happy at one mark under half
    No oil in water, or oil down block.
    Work is over an hour away so it gets a good drive.
    I've had Russel out who said it looks like condensation and pressure tested the coolant and it passed and to run it without the dipstick in and itle burn it off. It does, but returns seemingly next time it rains, but not 100% sure of the correlation (England being so..... Not dry)
    I've chainged the oil twice and done a flush. New kn oil filter....

    It has me beat, as it's never caused trouble I've left it, but when coming to sell, noone in their right mind will believe me.

    So, what else can cause this?, I've heard of some pads behind the breather hoses, do they exist? Do they block? I've picked through and checked the hoses and holes are clear.


    Many thanks
