Been running in a new (to me) motor the last week or so after doing a big overhaul on the car.
When putting the engine in we installed a seperate swirl pot and ran the breather pipe from the rocker cover to the oe swirl pot and then a pipe from there to the seperate swirl pot. The seperate swirl pot has 2 ports so the other was left open to breath.
So after driving it around for a while I have now noticed that the pipe on the seperate swirl that is left to open has a build up of white gunk in it! Also the pipe from the oe swirl pot to sep. swirl pot has alot of moisture build up in it! (can see as its a transparent pipe)
This has obviously raised my concerns but sure if its just due to the cold where causing condensation or the head gasket failing!
Its not using any water and getting around 20psi oil pressure on idle and 45-50psi on boost.
Picture below to help see what Im describing, any Ideas?
