Milky oil in engine

[PedroDelavi82]

I notice my oil is kind milky what could be? Thank u.

first, welcome aboard

define milky. a slight bit of condensation foam in the valve covers is normal if you idle a lot

if you are generating a milkshake. you have an issue

most thermal-declination-H2O-phase-change structural breaches are from improper winterization. so how did you winterize?

however you could also be in salt water and your manifolds could have rusted to the point of needing to be replaced.

only way to tell. drain the water from the cooling passage and pressure test the block and heads.

how long have you had the boat?

how long has it been since you pulled the elbows and manifolds for inspection that is required every 5 years when in salt water?

and no, I meant exhaust manifold. which is separate on all V-motors and only combined on the 3.0

if you have a 3.0, you need to inspect the manifold and elbow and replace if there is a fair amount of rust build up.
