Milky oil???
I have milky oil comming from my vent tube off the passangers side valve cover. Its never really needed a catch can until now. My check engine light came on and turbo seems to be spooling alot slower than normal. My guess is a head gasket. Any other suggestions????

That happens also cause condensation buids up in the engine.Especially builds up when the coolant temps are kept to a minimum.
I would wait till you actually have milky oil when you drain it.
I have seen this many times in all of the performance vehicles that I have owned.I believe the condensation never really evaporates fully like on a otherwise stock vehicle.

You could do a cylinder leak down check or pressure test your cooling system if you have the tools to do it. If not, keep checking the coolant level.
