Re: Lumina Head Gasket HELP!!!

a blocked pcv valve will cause excessive condensation in the oiling system. The PCV's job is to circulate air in the oiling system to prevent hydocarbon and moisture buildup in the crankcase. If you use the car for basic short trips, this multiplies the problem, as the engine never reaches full operating temp to burn it off. If it's not getting good heat inside the car, that could be a t-stat issue.
