The oil is milky white and i cannot find the source of the problem but have been told about a million things. I was told it could be somthing with the pcv system, i was told it could be a head gasket i was told it could be the vlave in the exhaust that keeps water from backflushing, i was told it could just be the exhaust manifold. Trying to narrow it down because quite frankly i dont feel like taking the whole damn thing apart and putting it back together piece by piece replacing anything thats busted. Does anybody know if this is a common problem on sterndrives? There is also water in the gear casing oil. We ran the boat for about 20 min and milky white oil was perkilating out from the breather. The oil has been drained and flushed. Dont know where to go from here?<br /><br /><br />Help
