    Condensation mixing with oil or coolant mixing with oil?

    Yeah, I've got the same condensation thing on my isx, it takes on a nasty yellow color most of the time on mine.

    Yeah, that's just condensation. When I saw it for the first time on my isx15 I went nuts trying to figure it out. Rest easy, it's no big deal.
