We checked the radiator fluid and it was fine and no sign of blown head gasket. There are also no visible leaks anywhere on the engine. Does anyone know what can be wrong? The car only has 15k on it currently. Thanks.
What you are telling us sure sounds like a head gasket issue to me. A little moisture on the oil filler cap is normal especially if you just take your car for a short ride. Moisture gets in your engine all the time and because your filler cap is vented, that is where the moisture will collect.
