Just went out for a ride and got oil up to 220 no problem, water temp never broke 100.
Shutdown and pulled dipstick, no water in the oil. if there was water id assume it to be mixed up after a run.
I don't see any milk or condensation when i pull the fill cap.
The more i think about it, even if an intercooler was leaking, I'm not sure how it would ingest water without sucking it through the engine, in which case it would be in the pan as well.

true but he would have raised oil level if water was entering...
it is easy to get condensation in Lake Erie I do early in season, this time of year and oil temps above 180 you really don't get it... I see no condensation now that's its warmer out and I don't have water stats...
can you look in oil fill cap hole and see condensation ??

have seen this problem a few times , you need to get heat into the engines , 130-150 , the problem is condensation..the other problem that follows that is rust on the valve springs then onto broken valve springs . not saying you may not have other problems like gasket s,valve guides , ect, . good luck .thunderboat Bob

I get the same thing but it doesnt make it thru the breathers like that .. that seems like a lot not to be in the oil.
I`m starting to think mine is worse due to the spring oilers ( everything is cooler below the valve cover causing more condensation?)
This weekend I think I`ll try to cap them off and see whats up.
My condensation is only in the front by the water passage nowhere else.
Oil temps are in the 180* range

Update- I've noticed it only does this above 4500 rpm. if i make a run and stay below 4k the engine is clean as a whistle. That's when i start to get into the heavier boost. Perhaps i have some cylinder wall/ piston ring issues going on.
