Yes, check both, oil will rise to the top. In the crankcase, the water will turn into a milky white substance if present.
Well...i just dont wanna be known as a person that doesnt take care of his car. Last weekend i just changed the oil/tranny fluid/and coolant. And i did that with ease. Some people would totally freak if they had to do that. Some poeple are just more "technicaly" oriented than other..and i am FAR from that person..just to let ya know!
But ne wayz..back to the topic....
This weekend i'll try to find a compression tester and i'm gonna remove my valve cover. I'll check some things..take some pics..etc. I just changed my valve cover gasket about a 2 months ago.
So i'm looking for anyting white right? I remember how it looked when i changed it...it was a golden brown with no flaky stuff anythere..just oil oil everywhere as far as the eye can see..ok...that was stupid. There was some flaky stuff on the valve cover itself, but thats because oil is splashed up there and heated so it burns. Unlike my moms DEAD 93 escort where EVERYTHING under the valve cover was black with flaky stuff everwhere(i was told this was carbon deposits).
Anything else i can do while the valve cover is off?
Thanx for all ur help bro! Preciate it!
