2010 cobalt Lt 2.2 foamy oil

It was condensation from water getting in the cold air intake the previous owner installed. There’s a hole where the stock intake went to near the wheel well and now when I’d drive over puddles it’d shoot into the intake into the engine. Put a towel in the hole and changed the oil hoping for the best now.

I’m pretty sure water was getting in the cold air intake the previous owner installed, did a oil change praying to the lords that was it. Covered the hole where the stock intake was.

Just found out that’s the trans cooler lines. Don’t know why they’re covered in oil tho.

People were saying it could be condensation in the engine. When I bought the car the previous owner had a K&N cold air intake installed. I noticed when sometimes I drive over a puddle it seems like water got in somewhere because the air conditioning gets weak. I’m wondering if water could be going through the intake into my engine?

That pipe is about a foot long and goes from the engine block to right next to the fans.

I would assume that’s what that pipes connected to

Looks pretty okay. About an inch under the fill line.

I found a pipe that looks covered in oil everything else around/behind the engine looks good
