you'll wanna put this in Help Zone mate shud find the correct eyes quicker

the yellow stuff usually comes from oil mixed with a little water which that comes from condensation, but if theres a large amount of it you may have to much water in there meaning it could be a more severe problem

wat car is it?

Sounds like your head gasket has gone mate, leaking water into the oil.

But like DNA said, put it in Help zone, i'm no mechanic
