hi,pulled oil filler cap off and white mayo substance in cap.can't see any oil in water tank.
oil and water levels are still the same and car seems to be running fine,but dosen't always start on first turn off the key,were as it did before.cheers

OK, you can probably relax on the HG front.

When you say doesn't start first time, is it turning over but not firing, or is it turning over and trying to fire?

yea turns over but not firing,i just turn key off and restart usally ok then.
if you think hg is ok ,what would cause the mayo in filler cap. cheers

you can still get mayo in filler cap if you only use the car for short run, where it may not get the chance to get warm enough, its condensation probably, mixing with the oil.
