i have a 07 dodge ram 5.7 hemi, took it to get a oil change today and the guy pulled me aside and showed me the cap that you have to take off to refill your oil.the inside of it was orange, it was not caked on but you cant get it off, next he took the top, shook it and water came out of the cap, my question is whats the most probable plaace water could be getting in? any help is appreciated.. JASON

What did he say the oil looked like when he drained it?..and did he show it to you?

didnt say anything about the oil, no he didnt show me the oil but did show me the water from the cap. my truck only has 64,xxx miles on it .

COMMON PROB IN COLD WEATHER JUST CONDISATION, NO PROB. TO B WORRIED ABOUT

Look and see if there is "Milk" on the dipstick.

Yep, especially this time of year. Some of these places try to take advantage of the non-informed public. Whenever you run the vehicle at normal operating temperatures for a couple of hours that condensation is boiled off naturally (Positive Crankcase Ventalation). Remember anytime the atmospheric air and higher moisure content (dew point) will be more prevalant whether it be on your beer can, ice chest, or oil, all is temperature relavent. Check how much is actually in the oil, or I would be more worried about if it was green as in antifreeze.

actually my antifreeze is orange

If the moisture ain't orange then no worries mon!

Condensation- see it all the time.

Common Problem in Dodge. Almost every Dodge you see has buildup in the oil cap. It is the way the Dodge Oil caps and tubes are. There is a airtight little space where lots of condensation can build up real easy. Dont take it to Wal-Mart, they will look in it and say they will not touch it and say take it to the dealership cause something is wrong. Dont worry about it until there is something in your actual oil.
