To start, it is a 2013 RS manual with 54K miles. Lately we have had serious issues starting when cold, and impossible to start if you add high humidity/rain. I started simple with plugs and coil which helped, but then we got down to 30's with rain. Car would not start.
Decided to get a new manifold since you get a lot for the price. As I went to pull the old one off, I noticed something that was horrific sight to me. Milky fluid in the intake manifold pcv port. I haven't noticed any loss of fluid and oil hasn't turned to a milkshake. So I have been wondering could this be just a serious build up of moisture rather than a head gasket issue.
Has anyone else noticed milkshake in the pcv port on the manifold before? I can see this being my problem but I am hoping for just a moisture issue (though this will be hard to remedy). If I can grab a coolant pressure tester today, that will be my next venture.
