How many miles has your engine done?

I'm reasonably sure that the amount of mayo generated will go up in proportion to engine wear (increased amount of blow-by gases) which will vary with mileage, quality of servicing and number of cold-starts.

The condensed moisture mostly comes from gaseous combustion products escaping downwards past piston rings, not some mysterious external source, IMHO. Yep, engines make water  .

normally occurs when breather pipes are blocked. give them a good blast out. should do the trick.

It forms in the filler neck as its a dead end so its a vapor trap. The v6 engine goes in vectra and that has no filler neck. Ive taken mine off.

Ive got 126000 on the clock but spent a bob on oil cooler  , thermostat ,full pulley renewal and belts etc as wel as h/g.

I've got it on my 2.6 too and used to get it on my old 2.5 too. No problems. Just keep the oil and breathers clear and you'll be fine.
