Na, I doubt it very seriously. Even though the sludge did look nasty in the
winter, it has gone away now. I noticed it would not condensate as long as
the ambient temp was above 60 degrees. You're probably seeing some variation
of fuel additive. Also, Synthetic oil seemed to really help keep the
condensation down in the winter.

When I say green, there are not as green as the grass. But is has a green
color to the top of the ceramic, with the red sprecs on it. I wonder if it
is a little water, being this is the 4.7 with the sludge in the filler
tube????
