Default Mayo Sludge In Breather

Took my breather off over the weekend to give it a clean out and noticed it had quite alot of mayonaise looking sludge in it. This anything to worry about?
Its an aftermarket breather/seperator. Looks very much like the autospecialists one!

Dont worry about it Rog. Will just be condensation. All my dailys have had a bit of mayo, always near the catch tank area, yet the oil cap/dipstick etc were always absolutely clear. Think its just a case of heat not getting out that far to 'clear' the water out of the oil

Yeah sounds normal to me too mate.
If no other signs of HG failure then don't worry at all!

No, nothing else to report. Found a lazy lift at the weekend, been tapping slightly n causing a mis-fire on start up. Took it out n it just collapses!
So anyway i took the breather off to inspect n found that! I used to get a fair bit when i was na but ive never had a seperator pot on there before to really collect it, ive cleaned it all out n ill re-fit it and clean it out every service!

All of mine have done it, always best to give them a clean out once in a while
