Did you ever clean it out after the last motor blew?

yep. just a little oil is all that was in there, like 1/4" max. kind of thinking it is condensation. going to need to clean that thing out often i guess.

Ummm maybe condesation.. Does it smell anything like gas?? like an injector is staying open.

Don't know, but that is gross! Good thing you had the catch can to get it :)

I have heard that sometimes when a motor sits for a lont time you can get that kind of condensation built up and that it eventually burns off. I know when i did my Mustang motor I had that crap on the oil filler cap for awhile but aftr running it a bit it cleared up and the motor was still in great condition. Maybe that's it?
