Lpr0923

Before I bought the car, about a week ago when I went to look at it, I pulled the dipstick out while checking out the engine. There was a whitish yellow gooey residue on it. I thought maybe it was because it had been sitting for awhile. Well I bought it home last night, and this evening I checked it again, and the buildup is still there.

Ideas? I'm going in for the recall tomorrow. I'll definitely run it by them as well.

P.s. I know how cranky people get around here if you repeat a question, so if this has already been asked several times, I apologize.

You know how cranky get when you don't search, but you still don't actually search?
