I know this usually indicates water in the oil, usually from a blown head gasket, but I am not losing any water. There is no sludge on the valvetrain or oil cap, the oil looks normal when I change it and I have had this off and on for a couple of years now without the engine blowing up or even acting up in any way. It even passed a recent emissions test with flying colours. Does the 850 have a problem with water getting into the dipstick tube?
