Search "Lung Butter."

Your crankcase vent system is not working. Judging from the pictures, most of it is probably missing.

Either that, or your car has a serious yeast infection...

Eloquently referred to as "lung mustard", it is the result of water accumulation in the engine. There is lots of info - just search...
