Default RE: moisture

Very possible,
Coolant could leak through a worn head gasket, or possibly seep through a crak in the head itself. Water could come in through the air cleaner(little tougher to get this to happen, but I've seen it). Water could get into the gas tank, and if you haven't been keeping up on fuel filters and what not, the water has an open door through the injectors. The car wouldn't run the same if it had moisture in it. It would all depend on the amount of moisture, you probly wouldn't notice it if it was a small amount. If you have moisture in your engine, the car will probably be blowin white smoke(steam) out the exhaust even after the car is warmed up. Yeah thats about all I got on the topic...anything else?

too much moisture and you hydrolock and your engine doesn't run period...your car also generates a small amount of condensation around start up...easily burned off by the oil and such

What do you mean by "moisture on the engine"?? Did it rain on the engine with the hood off? Did the car go for an unexpected swim?

Default RE: moisture

Every car runs with moisture every time you
start it. before it warms up the moisture is
presaent in the oil. When the car reaches temp the
moisture burns off. This is easilly demonstrated on
my 38 ford tractor which I have removed the thermostat.
It never overheats or fully warms up so the oil starts to
turn milky and looks like froth on the oil filler tube.

If your cars oil looks like that you have a problem, in
a tractor it is ok but not in a mustang.
