Engine problem
Hi guys.
Last week i find '' milk'' on my dipstick and ''oil cap''. Change the oil (was black) , and think the problem will finish.

Today , i check it, and its milk there again... im afraid water is mixing with oil... and now, my engine light turns on ( sometimes flashing), and the car dont want move, no power, revs increase very slow, etc.... (looks like fuel failing, if anyone can understand it).

Mazda RX8, 192hp, 2004, 70.000 miles (UK)

Thanks people.
