Can anyone help please? I have a 1992 Cadillac Eldorado Touring Coupe with 4.9L engine with 233,000 miles on it. It has JUST started to KNOCK TERRIBLY EVERYTIME I start the engine. After about 5 minutes of running, the knock goes away. The engine DOES NOT overheat. My thoughts are that I am getting water mixed in the oil since I loose water quickly. Here is what my radiator cap looks like:[img:8c77115402]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/56243_KIF_1014_2.jpg[/img:8c77115402]
Here is what my oil cap looks like? I see some white on the cap, but when I look inside the engine or pull the oil dip stick, it all seems fine...[img:8c77115402]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/56243_KIF_1015_1.jpg[/img:8c77115402]

I have been told things like a head gasket, leak in a manifold, pull spark plugs to look for water, exhaust leak??? Can anyone please give me more information?? THANKS MUCH!! Marty
