Or another source of water. I know in my 996 if it is subject to many short drives the oil filler cap gets this same sludge. But a long drive will kill it all.
Is this car subject to mostly short drives where it doesn't have an opportunity to warm up?
Yes. Typically drive once a week about 8 miles each direction with a 4-5 hour stop in between. Just completed a 25 mile drive when the light came on. The oil in the dip stick did not appear milky.
I can pull the filter w/o an oil change so this will be next.
Short trips and cool weather will produce condensation in the engine. Longer trips and getting the oil up to temperature, for a good period of time, will burn off the water.
I suggest a good long drive and then an oil change. Then you need to avoid short trips as much as possible.
Be sure to keep an eye on coolant level. Coolant in the oil is bad. You don't want intermix.
