My oil cap doesn't look like that
It almost looks like someone sprayed Great Stuff foam sealant in there or something

wtf is that ?
12-15-2010
It means you need your intake gaskets done.
Most likely.

most likely ?
12-15-2010
As in do them.

...some kind of coolant/iron oxide funk? That's incredible, how long has it been since your last oil change?
12-15-2010
June maybe May I know thats more than 3months but only like 2000miles i was planing on changin soon
12-15-2010
Perfect time to do your Intake gaskets...get some snythetic in there too
12-15-2010
thats what was in there mobil 1 full snythetic
12-15-2010
a small amount of that is normal, that is too much. youre leaking coolant into the motor.

PS: if the engine is cold or hasnt beens started, crank it over a lil bit and then check it, want to make for certain its not milky. That will be bad for bearings, you don't want yours to sound like mine did when my crank bearings spun... GPs shouldn't sound like Diesels

oh and the dip stick seems fine but i always wipe it as a pull it out so idk

So if it isn't on the dipstick...it might not be that bad...but if your losing coolant...it needs to be addressed. Buy...
-High Temp RTV, Black.
-GM Aluminum Lower Intake Gaskets for your L36
-New Coolant Elbows...you can buy them in the HELP Section at ORielly's
-Probably wouldn't hurt to do the Fuel Injector O-Rings too...they are cheap...and the PCV...its cheap too. It's under the MAP sensor on the left side of the Upper Intake Manifold.
-A Couple Bottles of 100% Antifreeze...cheap green or yellow junk...then fill the rest with water after you flush it.
-New T-Stat, I'd say get a 180* now, but everyone else will call me dumb.
-Of course...after you refill everything and get it all buttoned up...be sure to change the oil and oil filter.

if im going to pull abunch of stuff apart would now be the time to do an upgrade on rockers and springs and what do you suggest?
12-15-2010
if youve got the money for it sure. stick with the split ratio rockers and you can keep your stock springs.
12-15-2010
Those be the ER Rockers...boss.
12-15-2010
Rockers would be uber easy to do while you have everything apart. But I second the intake gaskets leaking. That's not normal to see on your oil cap.
12-15-2010
Good time to change your valve cover gaskets.
those like to leak as well.
Make sure you get new grommets as well
