Water in my Engine! HELP! NEWBIE!

Recently i checked my oil and i found white creamy things with my oil. I took it in to Mazda but the tech said it was just moist and its common in the cold. Can anyone help me out on this, its just that fact that they said its common and i know water is not suppose to be in the engine. Or other case its just moist as they said but is it common?

Welcome to the club. You do not have a problem.


Read the stickies in the tech section.

Make sure to warm up your car longer.

Maybe we should start telling everyone in schools to copy each other's homework

Maybe we should start copying work @ jobs

How does that sound to you ?

The 2 things are not even related. People have questions just answer them. So your telling me you know the answers to everything, you never ask questions?

Nope

the search button is a bit small, but no one should use that as an excuse.

The problem with not telling a newbie search is that they might never learn. Thus when he gets another question, he will just clutter the site up with more stuff. I have no problems with answering questions, but if it is a common one, then I let them know to search next time.

Now he knows, and when he has another simple question, he can search and find it himself.

Ya see why we tell them to search now?

sorry but, I dont think we will see him again, well, at least not for a long while

maybe 1 day when he have another n000000b *** question he might show up. but of course he will just make another post instead of search.

I agree they should use the search button to stop making threads on the same topic. I think you should answer there question then say to use the search button first before posting a thread. There is a lot of info floating around in this fourm. Search is your friend

Aww come on, be a little nice If english is his second language he could very easily come to an erroneous conclusion.....

(uhh....u americons are wude azzholzes, I ope u eit shet and dye...)

Then there is the more sensitive elements of our society. Potential cool future members that are shot down and discouraged from ever posting here again......geesh now I am sounding like someone's mother.

I dont know,...if in doubt be nice?
