Foamy substance in oil?

Went out to check the oil today and noticed that both the dipstick's upper third portion or so had this off-white foamy substance on it as well as the filler neck up towards the cap. The car's been running fine and the oil level was still fine just not sure if this is the "put in too much oil and it'll foam" symptom or just condensation maybe from all the weird GA weather we've been having lately or (hopefully not) a symptom of something worse.

yes, it's condensation. if all emissions have been removed u will need a way to incorporate a pcv valve. there's lots of infor here on this subject. usually referred to as lung butter.

Okay sweet, the rats nest has been removed so that’s more than likely what it is. She’s bridgeported though so my initial thought was a water jacket leak and was getting kinda panicky lol
