I did a lot of research. The oil on the dip stick does not have milkshake color. it is normal. The yellow oil cap has no whitish or milky color either just oil drop on the top of the cap. Now that the car sat overnight. there is no bubbly stuff on top of the coolant.

But when I open the cap I heard a lot of air escape and teh coolant level rose about 1-2 inches.

There is no oil comingout of the tale pipe or smoke.

The car rides normal like it always did. no power loss. And it is not over heating.

I am going to try changing the o-rings in the bleeder. The Porsche scumbag dealer I just went to said they changed it and the cap. I highly doubt they did.


So I am assuming from all this tht I don't have a blown head gasket.


Is it normal for air to come out when you open the coolant cap. And does the level rise as well.
thanks
