Excessive condensation on engine
Hello all and Happy holidays to all. I have an issue I've been dealing with for 2 years now with no good solution. I have an 06 3.0 liter automatic. The car has only 85k miles and is in excellent condition both mechanically and visually. The car runs great overall with some minor electronic issues along the way that have been all tended to. The big issue is the excessive condensation the engine puts out. Unfortunately, 2 winter's ago I lost the original engine due to this when the dressed mayonnaise froze and detonated my engine at highway speed. New engine installed and the same thing almost happened the following winter. I installed a catch can system that works great and in summer, no issues. Now that it is cold, the catch can is filling to top within 3-4 days of emptying it. This is an issue because of freezing temps in the north (Ohio). This car does have California emissions as well (car came from southern California. Can anything be done to help this issue that I don't have to sell a kidney for? Unfortunately, my son drives this car and it only sees light city driving in winter. He tries to warm it up in the morning but obviously at school, this is not possible. We also try to highway drive it once a week. Any thoughts?
