[QUOTE="HMILLER, post: 82537, member: 11422"] My 853 has the ventilation tube running from the valve cover down to the bottom of the engine bay. I've noticed a small discharge from it that felt more like water than oil so I fashioned a small aluminum can to the discharge end of the tube to catch it before it hit the floor and also while running the engine. I just drained this for the first time in several hours of operation and found about an ounce of what appeared to be almost clear (not green like the anti freeze) water. The radiator appears to be full along with the plastic semi transparent filler/relief tank. The crankcase oil remains at the same level and doesn't appear to have water in it. Is it possible that this water substance is just a result of the hot gases in the engine condensing in this aluminum can or is this a sign of an engine water leak? Opinions welcomed. P.S., the engine had a new head gasket about 30 hours ago. [/QUOTE]
