- 1985 CJ7 Renegade 258 inline 6. (All currently stock... working to change that one piece at a time).
So... I pulled my oil filler cap and noticed a small amount of milky substance around the top of it. After that I looked at the dip stick and it's nothing but nice clean oil, and I also drained a small amount of oil from the plug and did not see any milky substance to it or any visible coolant. I replaced the head gasket about a month ago, did I mess something up? I read that if it doesn't run for extended periods of time (for a while I only started it to idle for a bit and drive 2-3 miles to the gas station and back) it could result in trapped vapor not being given the opportunity to burn completely off. Thoughts?
