Oil contamination

Some brands of oil will turn milky more than others--- For example Valvoline is/was not as bad as Pennzoil- We chased what we thought was a bad gasket only to find in our case it was condensation--- It is probably just condensation---Make sure you have your crankcase vented somehow either to the exhaust or by a vacuum pump. Clean off the v. covers a few times with brake clean eventually it will go away----Try leaving the valve covers off for a bit when the engine gets hot to let the steam escape some times that helps too. Try another brand of oil too see if that helps. Comp 387
