Sounds like condensation to me. Do you take a lot of short trips? If so, do you let the engine reach full operating temps?

wow i bet your right. car has sat in garage for 1 year roughly. Cant drive it its only half back togather from resto. This damn spring weather condensates the cement floor too. Hmm hoopefully engine is still ok. I been letting it idle for a while sometimes i dont know what else to do. I have it about 2 ft off the floor.

It should be ok, however how old is the oil? The big reason they say change every 3 months is due to condensation, when its mixed with oil it creates an acidic mixture. May be a good idea to change it if you can't get the engine heated up properly

Did you rebuild the engine during the resto? It's probably assembly lube if you did.

no, brand new engine though right before the resto by about 6 months. Ill change the oil though, its due for it not because of miles but because of time. thanks.
