Hey Chris 

I get that slimmy white stuff during the winter in maine.  my vws 
have always done this I believe it is condensation from being hot and 
then cold and so forth.

uh oh...

OK. 
I did the headgasket on the uGLI and I know I followed the Bently 
correctly.
Does the VW Motorsport 'group a' headgasket take anymore torque than the 
stock one?

The reason I ask is , under my oil cap Im getting 'maynoaise'- thats a 
sign of coolant getting into the system, right?  Could it be left over 
solvent from when I cleaned all the metal chips out of it (aftermatch 
porting)?

If I look into the coolant resovior, I don't see any oil- but then 
again, I don't know what to look for.

Can I just crank in some more torque into the bolts?

HELP!
