Some very bad smelling white smoke started coming out of the ventilation tube that runs from the valve cover to the flame arrestor approx 10 mins after engine start. Engine temp climbs up to 180 before I shut it down. Oil compartment is slightly overfilled but not by very much.
I checked the oil and it's definitely darker than brand new oil, however it's still transparent on the dipstick. Oil fill cap has lots of water drops/condensation under the cap.
So my real question is this -- does this oil indicate head gasket issue or cracked block or does it look like regular used oil is supposed to look?
