I always notice that slimy crap appearing on the oil cap when it gets 
cold outside.  Cold like below 35 deg. (not like california cold 60).
It doesn't happend to the car in the summer.  I think it is just 
condensation from the car getting hot then cold, then hot then cold 
etc...

Hehe....  am I sick?
I don't think it hurts anything. I ran straight exhaust for a year and it
continued kicking ass the whole time I had it : )
