you do know that those engines have a habbit of condensating the oil up the top end dont you?! theyre worse for doing it if the engines run up for a short amount of time. lots of short trips etc if its not using water from the header tank leave well alone. ive had 2 fiestas with that engine in...they made that gooey shit but never used any water. i cleaned the breathers out every couple of months and just let it get on with it.

i get this every winter. i usually get quite a bit in the oil cap and the oil filler neck due to it getting so cold then leaving at 6am for work and only driving for 5 miles so that gooey shit starts to appear. like jam if its not using water dont worry

worst offender is the gauze in the filler cap. that and the pipe that goes to the airbox. it generally wont put that much in the airbox. the guaze usually catches it.

whats it smell of when its been running. that goo will have an oily petrolly scent. its not pleasant but its the way they are

give her a good run after to pump the new oil all round and you miught find it a bit every now and aagain because its being pumped round but after a few oil changes should all be flushed out then.
