Hi All,
This summer here in New England it has been relatively hot and humid for
spells.
I drive my TR3A infrequently but when I do I notice that there has been some
rather unpleasant mucus looking gunk on the floor. I believe that it is
expelled from the breather hose when I start the engine...maybe. I was just
wondering if it is anything to be concerned about as to the possible
condition of my oil etc. My non educated thought is that fumes from the
crankcase combine with water vapor to cause this sludge like goop. Anyone
have this happen?

Thanks, Fran
