was just cleaning the intake today, checking for water ( which there was in the J pipe silencer) * i live in canada and the snow is melting today* anyway. i believe the PCV valve near the top of the intake.. it was filled with this creamy yellowish substance. also the intake had residue of that substance and the maf even had residue of that substance.. should i be worried?? i was getting real bad gas on this tank. im at half and only travelled 155kms and did not use 4x4 that much...but it could be due to letting the car warm up when it was outside at the gf's on stupid cold days. (-30c without the windchill )

Clean out your pcv valve and check your oil and coolant. It could just be condensation from the cold. Could be a headgasket. If you're not loosing coolant, I'd say its condensation from the cold.

I got full coolant. how do i clean out the pcv valve?... (im looking for a write up)
I'm sorry, in my first post i said pcv valve, i meant pcv hose that connects to the intake, that has the creamy stuff coming out of it.

sounds like a combo of oil and moisture, which happens sometimes. i would just clean it out and just keep an eye on it.
