water in oil cap and overheating

I saw water in the oil cap every day
Temperature rises up to 97c when driving a long trip like 30 mins
Cleaned the radiator and chanhed oil separator
There is no oil sign in the cooling system or oil gauge

I live in a warm area
What is the cause of abnormal high temperature and What is the reason of water in the oil cap every day?

What oil are you using? Do you normally drive longer drives or shorter. I've heard on these forums some that us Mobil 1 0-40 have had issues with creamy whitish oil in their filler tube. Glad you changed it / send in a sample for analysis to see if you have a coolant leak into your oil.

Also, take off the front bumper and completely clean and take the A/C condensor off the radiator and clean those both. You will need a brush to work in between the fins to ensure you get it all cleaned out. Has your coolant been done lately? At minimum have it tested. I would also add water wetter by Redline to help keep it a bit cooler. If the temps keep up and you're consistently in or near the red zone....I would also suggest the lower temp T stat you can get at Pelican or LN Engineering. It is fully open at 185 vs 210 to keep you a bit cooler from the get go. I still get hot, but it seems to stay cooler longer and also recover faster when cruising or going down a hill after a hard run up a longer hill.

Just ideas: keep us all posted on the water. Seems you are getting it hot enough to burn off condensation, so I don't know what to tell you other than have it analyzed by Blackstone. You can pull a sample through the filler tube to send in. Good Luck!!!
