Hi
I have a POrsche Boxter 2.5 1999 model. The car has covered 55,000 miles.

My problem is that there is creamy white stuff in my water resevior. I have flushed the cooling system twice but after a few miles driving, the oil appears again.

The car isn't over heating nor is it making white smoke. There appears to be no signs of water in the oil.

I've now noticed that my oil pressure indicator has started to show low oil pressure.

Could this be a head gasket? Faulty oil cooler? Even worse the engine head?

Please help.
Best Regards

You have water in your oil and not in the combustion chamber which isn't good news. Drain the oil immediatly--don't drive the car as you will destroy a very expensive engine. I have no idea where the water is getting in the oil--it will take a Porsche expert--it may be something small or a major problem

Good luck and I still miss my old Bathtub Porche
