 Recently I have noticed that the oil breather vent tube on my 70 ambo (I'm assuming the vent tube is the one that isn't connected to anything on the other end) has some kind of milky substance along the bottom of it, as though this substance is draining out. I don't actually see it dripping out, but it clearly lines the bottom of the tube. What is this? It's scaring me...

The milky stuff is oil mixed with water. more worrisome if it's in your
crankcase-- not so bad in the breather tube.
