Back in the old days we could get chocolate milk with marshmallows out of the oil breather cap on short trip drivers.

It's ok panning for silver. But finding it is a bit of a let down. 😥

I work on standby generators and some are gaseous fueled (propane/ natural gas) the milky oil is a common occurrence with them due to the excessive condensation with combustion and short run times. The Fords are terrible got to scoop the "marshmallows" out of the rocker covers to refill the oil. Metallic oil... I could cast some pistons with what's in the bottom of my waste oil buckets.

Ford, GM, Toyota, Honda, VW, Mopar, etc, -it didn't matter. Anything that burns hydrocarbon fuel with Air = CO2 + H2O + other crap. Short trip driving or short run times mean the engines never get up to temperature and drive off the condensate in the oil/detergent mix we use for lubricating oil. It is always worse in the winter because it takes longer to come to temp, -but we LOVE milkshakes....
Finding Gold(brass), Copper, Silver(aluminum, tin, steel), RTV, cotton, or sand etc in the used oil is never good. It is bad enough it is in the new oil also.

Worst I've ever had was a milkshake that took an hour to drain. Turned out the #3 piston was blocking the oil hole. Oops.

One day I panned for chunks(of aluminum)  Wife's Grand Prix with 3.1L had a small intake/coolant leak.(recall issue) It's amazing the damage that Dex-cool can do. It crystallized inside the roller lifters and caused them to stick in the collapsed position and what ever water evaporated left behind this goo in the valve covers and a few other places.   |

I have a van with the 3.4L but it has been converted to old fashioned Ethylene Glycol (green) antifreeze. No problems so far with the leak, -but it may have been through a recall before. I think I am the third owner. That dexcool crap is a nightmare. So was that 'Sierra' antifreeze.
You can reuse that rod from the first picture in your scoot. LOL

Kinda tough to do on most of our air cooled scooters luckily.
