So every time I pressure wash my engine I end up with milky oil and have to change it out immediately after. I already know its from water getting into the engine and its definitely not a head gasket problem because I can drive it an entire oil change interval and the oil will still look pretty much new. My question is does anyone else have this problem when they wash their engine and if so have you been able to solve the problem or at least pinpoint it. I already changed the oil fill cap so its not from there. Any ideas?

How many times do you pressure wash your engine?
If it's more than like, once a year, you need to address some serious problems. I did mine with oven degreaser and it's still clean over a year later....and it leaked coolant from a bad freeze plug.
Not to mention you have leaks somewhere for the water to be getting into the oil. Just clean it and look where you see oil/coolant/general-stuff-that's-not-supposed-to-be-there. Then attack that sealing point with a new gasket/RTV/o-ring/etc.1974.5 Jensen Healey : 2003 330i/5Comment
