Need to know what would be causing condensation to build up, like when we check the oil and pull the dip stick out there is a lot of condensation on the stick, like there is water in the oil, what could be happening there? Please advise, and thanks again, Debbie Cooper

We also replace the every 3,000 miles or before, due to the high mileage of it, I always warm my car up at least 10 to 15min before I go anywhere, just a habit of mind.

Next thing to do have it pressure tested to ID a leak-Try replacing the PCV valve if you haven't and see what happens
