water in oil merc140

[affa]

Hello<br />I found some bad oil (grey and creamy)on the oilcap and in the hose that goes to the carb.<br />I can see the same oil on the top of the valves The oil on the dipstick looks good.<br />Its not a long time since I last checked it and it was fine.<br />Ive read that it can be just the gasket on the riser, but it can maybe be other stuff? <br />I have nothing to pressure test it with.<br />Im winterizing no, so I like to have it alright for the next season. I need to have the bad oil away from the top of the valves as well. I havent changed the oil yet. Hope you can help<br />Regards <br />Affa

Clean the stuff off the best you can, change the oil, run it up to temp and put it away!!<br /><br />LubeDude

If you make alot of short runs with your boat it's most likely condensation. My car does this as I don't have far to drive to work, and the engine seldom warms up enough to "dry" out.<br /><br />DougV>
