Had a look at a great car today and when looking in the oil filler cap it had alot of mayo in it and down the tube is it a gasket or something else?or could it be blockage?no sign of anything in the header tank just clean water with antifreeze and radseal.any suggestions? :y

That would be a concern to me... It's dreadful stuff for the cooling system :(

Need a bit more info about the car before we can give a better answer though... If a V6 it's probably normal and only been doing short journeys... Regular oil changes with quality (GM) oil will reduce this :y :y

It's probably just condensation... But I'd exorcise caution because of the radweld :-/ :-/

usually caused by front multi ram vacume failure shold not be too hard to sort out, who did the cam belt and when was it done last? should say in the history.
