That is oil with moisture in from condensation. Its from the engine being hot, getting shut off and cooling down and the condensation forms and it leaves that crap on the oil cap. It also can form from taking short trips and not getting the engine up to full temperature and shutting it off again. The engine needs to get hot enough to burn the moisture out of the oil. A little bit on the cap is normal, just as long as the oil when You drain it doesnt look like a milkshake. Hope this helps.
The oil on the dipstick looks great still, I change the oil and filter often becuse I put so many miles on it. That would make lots of sense as the last week and a half I've only been using it to boot to the river and do some fishing or just drive to the spare lot and wat6ch the highway traffic and listen to the Sirius radio at night. That takes a friggen load off my mind, thanks.
