The exhaust system does steam quite a lot at idle. It's a large exhaust system and cools the gases a lot more than on some cars. I'd say you've got nothing to worry about.
Mayo in the oil cap is normal if the car is frequently used for short trips, especially in cold weather, but could be an indication that the oil needs a change.
I would also be inclined to check the breathers are clear as the mayo could be a sign that the crankcase s not being ventilated well.
Certainly nothing major to worry about though.

Ok will do would this be something i should do ASAP or could it wait till Weekend Kevin?

As Tunnie says, don't think you have anything to worry about, the Omega does give off loads of smoke/steam when the weathers cold
I worry to much thats what i was hoping had to ask thankyou Tunnie and Pete.....
but i really would like to have some heat in the car so if someone can help/advise/draw diagrams/paint a picture of ideas i would REALLY be happy might even send u my gloves

Been looking through the forum about some symptoms i got on my V6 CDX firstly got mayo on oil filler cap.......... and the car on idle after 30 min run seems to be throwing out white exhaust smoke could it be steam? An amount u would expect to see on a car on first startup.
Oil and water lvls seems to stay same and pressure in the cooling system is some but not loads (like a coke bottle opening best to describe) the water (to me) smells of anti-freeze (good thing i know 8-) )
I thought at first was HG going, then after a read thought might be oil cooler, then after more reading think the h.b.v might be the problem. Now i confused and think i am just going OTT over nothing :-/
As a previous thread i do have the heater always blowing cold yet all pipes which should be getting hot is so i am assuming could be a servo problem? can someone PLEASE tell me where and which it is for hot/cold?
Thanks to all for reading and assistance in this matter

Omega General Help / Questions about cooling
« on: 12 February 2010, 05:53:22 »
Very recently bought 2001 omega cdx 2.6 v6 and just wondering is it the "norm" that the water coolant in the tank remains cold? even though the temp gauge in car seems to be a constant 85-90 im wondering if there is a air bubble in the system as the car internal heater only ever blows cold even on HI heat, help and diagrams pls if anyone has an idea what it could be... did notice about flushing the heater matrix but wanted to know about the *air bubble* possibility and a cure?
thanks to all in advance
