I just picked up a 96 18' Bayliner with a 3.0. What would be a probable cause for milky oil? Manifold? Riser? The guy said it sat without the cover (but the cowl was on). I was just curious if there was something common I should look for before ripping things apart.

I drained the oil, changed the filter. I put a gallon of diesel in the engine, turned it over a few times, fired it up for about 3 seconds, and drained the diesel. I did this 3 times and finally put a fresh filter and oil in. Still a little cloudy but much better. The engine runs great. I plugged in the coil after turning it over and It fired right up after "tapping" the key. It actually surprised me.

Thanks.
