I've never seen and inline Chevy six, not leak from somewhere not that I've seen a ton of them but I'm starting to think it'll leak from somewhere no matter what.
Also some milky oil crap (not much just a drip) comes from my breather tube, but there not really a sign of water in the oil, is this just condensation or something? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,442 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,442 | Yes, it probably is condensation.ðŸ›
