Hmmm, nice! :lol:

What oil are you running?
Are your breathers still hooked up properly?

this used to happen to my old mini deluxe. clean it and see if build up happens again. then query it ... wasn't sure what was doing it though

Plain old condensation can cause that.

As mentioned, clean it off and keep an eye on it. If it does that lots, check the obvious things, like loss of water (blown head gasket) etc.

Condensation, nothing scary. Very normal.

You could try a higher spec oil, but you risk cleaning out your engine if you go to specs that include a lot of detergent additives.

Caltex Havoline Premium is a SL spec, wheres the Premium Plus SM is an SM spec....the SM spec is better if your engine is newer or doesnt have too many K's on it.

Ah yes, since moving to the lovely Hunter Coast I'd forgotten little gems like that.

On your Profile page, in the signature box you insert the picture using [img]address.of.hosted%20picture[/img].

You need to host the pic somewhere like photobucket.com. Check the Forum Rules at the Top of the Mini Chat forum as there are maximum sizes you can use in your signature. I grabbed these 2 pics from the Mini Ads mentioned on here recently and photoshopped them together.
