Creamy brown water coming out of breather. Actually this has been happening for a while now as I ended up with that stuff at the bottom of the boat. Seriously clogging my bilge pump and I didn't know where it was coming from. Brought it to the mechanic and kept telling he couldn't figure out where it was coming from. Now I know.
Doesn't seem to affect power

Cracked blocked?

Change oil. If it comes black, could be cracked block or leaking manifolds

You can also remove the elvows and manifolds and inspect them

You can drain the jacket water and pressure test

If that water coming out breather tube there is no way oil is immaculate...water out breather means water in valve cover which means water where oil supposed to be...

unless you have drained the oil to look at it, the milk-shake oil will not be in the dipstick tube until the internal pressure of the milkshake oil has pushed all the oil up the dipstick tube, which normally requires the dipstick to not be in the tube with the motor running.
