Goop on Dipstick

[Dan DiBiase]

I did actually take a 30-minute drive last night to visit friends, then 30 minutes home. Looked under the filler cap this am and
it is clean. Checked the oil and didn't see any more goop (checked 3 times). Coolant level is unchanged (I do check that every
weekend when I check the oil). So I am thinking that it was condensation, from having left the car sitting for over a week, then
taking only a few short trips last week (my normal routine, as I work from home). I will monitor it this week and see what it looks
like.

Thx,

Looks like oil and water mixed.  Many possible reasons - condensation, headgasket, oil cooler....
