Water or other Oil Seperation?

When I pulled the drain plug on the 50 today I could swear I saw water or other clear fluid as the oil drained, this was not rusty, green, or otherwise - it was clear.

Would this just be some condensation build up from inside the pan from the motor sitting for 2 years?

The oil doesn't look milky or like the "water" had been intermixed with it.

The radiator coolant is bright green so - I don't fear any problems with the head (at least for now)

Or perhaps this got down the intake somehow?

    Probably just condensation.

    Thanks Dave,

    Does anyone know the removal procedure for the oil filter canister?

    You're welcome. There should only be two bolts securing it to the engine or firewall.

    You may want to note which hose goes where both on filter cannister and on block. been there done that. Also once you have cannister cleaned out a turkey baster will suction out almost all the oil on the next change. I would be suspcious of any water found in pan. Those old gaskets often corrode , specially if it sat for a long time. A compression check is in order. The N.W> Chapter is having a meet in your area I believe a car caravan from the Bremerton Swap meet at 3 pm on Saturday Nov. 3 Lou Cote

    Comp check won't hurt nothin. I would'nt be upset tho,if you had any kind of internal leak you would have green antifreeze from a leak water would'nt even find, and you have antifreeze in it and it won't seperate from water once mixed, got a leak it'll be green.
