Engine Mechanical problem
1996 Volvo 850 Two Wheel Drive Manual 163000 miles

I have mayo on my dipstick but no evidence of it under the filler cap, there is also a slight amount of steam or smoke coming out of the dipstick hole/tube...... is this terminal (head gasket/ head)?

regards jon

Hi there,

This just may be a condensation problem, i would first change the oil & filter with an oil flush and see if it reappears, check the coolant level as well, start here.
