i noticed the sound of air coming from my snowblower engine after shutting it off and i removed the oil cap and it blew off and the oil was white color and frothy and smelt funny. it runs fine what could this be?
That's water in your crankcase Curtis. The air you heard might have been the water portion boiling off and finding the weakest way out through your crankcase breather. Drain it ASAP, find out how the water got in there and refill it. You might want to drain it again after running it for a couple minutes to make sure all the water is out.
Assuming that your snowblower has an air cooled engine, where do you store it? Outside? Uncovered? If garaged or tool shed stored, one would have to wonder how water got into the crankcase. Did you or someone recently top off the oil? Did they accidentally use something other than oil? Keep us posted. An interesting thread.
