I have my car stored here in North California while i go to school in So Cal and I believe im getting some condensation because the pcv valve has milky under and a little on the dip stick. I know its not gaskets because I took the motor out before I moved and replaced all of them. The heads are new they are RHS Magnums. My dad starts it and warms it up but doesnt drive it. is there anything i can put in the oil to prevent this from happening over and over?
 

ya what im thinking, i started it up and let it warm to opp. temp. Should I change oil before i start again or start it tomorrow and let it run for awhile? The brakes dont work because im switching rear ends

everytime the engine cools it sucks surrounding air in... so if there is moisture it goes in to... so u have to "boil" the water out, meaning drive it, and it should go away.

and yes just let it run for awhile even put cardboard in front of the radiator to get it hotter(but not to hot)
 
Is it parked outside? If it is on grass or dirt you will get condensation everywhere on the car. Even worse is if you cover it with a tarp. Don't ask me how I know that, LOL. Parking the car on top of the tarp would have been better.
 
The car is in the Garage. We live pretty close to the hills so it gets humid and cold. I warmed it up for about 20mins let it get to 200 with a towl and car board. Then let it run for 5-10 more min. My dad starts it but doesnt let it run for too long, maybe 5-8 min.
