    I have had moisture in my engine. When I first check the oil, I notice a milky look on the upper part of my dipstick. I clean it off and check it again and it is usually gone after checking two times in a row. I have not lost any water from my radiator and the 230 seems to run just fine. Several people have told me that its just condensation. I don't know if this is true or not. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? I plan to replace the 230 with a 350 within the next couple of months, I just don't want it to give out on my until I'm ready for this change. The engine does not smoke at all. Please help if you can. :(

    I changed the oil today. I used an oil flush additive and then drained it. I saw no water in my oil. I used an engine restore additive and added oil. I drove it for about 40 miles. No sign of water. Oh, I also replaced my PCV valve. Someone told me that would make a difference. I'm not sure how but no water so far.;-)
