From what I hear, I was told of two local shops....one in Manotick "Autobahn" and one in Vars. I may check out the one in Vars as I live in Embrun.

I hope that it's the oil cooler. Fingers crossed for you. Who services the car locally for you (I am in Ottawa too)?

Oil and coolant does not mix, it forms an emulsion, like hot chocolate or salad dressing in consistency.

Wow, thanks. I love this car, never gave me any trouble so I'm hoping its and easy fix. Come to think of it oil consumption was never

high up until last week when I noticed I was down a quart within short period of time.

Went through the forum and It looks like I have all the systems. Oil is in the coolant, but not the other way around. No white smoke and the dipstick shows no sign of coolant contamination. What a mess, the stuff looks like chocolate pudding....

****, sorry for the mess. Good luck. In Memphis past few weeks, hard on cars round here with the heat and humidity. Considered driving, but I flew. What's your local temp? Had you been running her fairly hard? Sure hope this is an easy fix for you.... Easy being a Porsche-relative term in dollars.

Im in Ottawa Canada now...temps have be in the high 20'sC or 80'sF. Don't push her too hard, but redline at least once a week... I do have over 100 000 miles and this has been the first and only major issue. Outside that just a few blown bulbs!! ;)

Not good. First, stop running the car. Question now should be where is the source? Could be the oil cooler, which is an easy fix; but if it isn't, it goes exponentially downhill from there...........

....thanks for the input, why does it clump up like that...if it was oil should it not be dark and murky?

I have never had any issues with my battery. I do travel often...two weeks at a time in most cases and my car is fine when I get back. I do have a 1987 190E that has a Priority Start! 12 Volt ProMax

" an automatic computerized on/off switching system protecting battery voltage and starting power. If battery voltage drains below 11.7 volts when engine is off, it automatically disconnects the load. The battery voltage immediately recovers. TO START: just step on brake pedal, starting power is automatically reconnected. Designed to handle 1000 starting amps" Simple to set up and it works.

I installed a set last week. Due to my old Bosch plugs were at the end of thier life. Car felt much better at idle and performance was back to normal.

....all I can say is wow. I never thought that I would...or could be so intimate with the rear-end of my car. I'm sure many of us have been down this road but thank god for

nimble arms and fingers. Oh and a good drop lamp!! I can see why some opt to remove the mufflers...it would have made the job easier but I was able to get it done without

going that far. Changed the oil as well...hmm RMS is staring to go...getting some minor weeping. Ah well after 83000 guess Im lucky....

2001 C2 77000 Miles no issues. Drive it hard but not reckless. No garage queen but she does not leave when there is snow outside...due to the salt and grit used to melt the snow!
