What is this...?
I opened my oil cap yesterday to put more oil in and I noticed some slimy white residue on the thread of my cap. This doesn't sound good to me. So if anyone can relieve my worries about this, PLEASE let me know. The motor only has 5k miles on it and was bridge ported, so I figures I wouldn't have any problems with it. Thanks guys

that is moisture being burt off in the oil pan. If you live in a colder climate it's more than likely just condensation burning off.
however, if there is a LARGE amount of it, it's likely one of your coolant seals has failed and coolant is getting into the oil system.
If you aren't loosing coolant I wouldn't worry about it to much. just clean it off.

Brrap braapp..
if i'm not mistaking, isn't there a nipple that sticks out right under the oil cap .. ..
if you're looking at it front the front of your car it should be to your right ,on the very top of the oil filler tube right under the oil cap...
i mean that's where i stuck a tube to and ran it off to a catch can.... and oh yea.. i always have some amount of creamy residue right under the oil cap............
the last line dont sound right lol

Is it really bad if I have some creamy white gunk like this coming up where my dipstick is, it seems to get a lot more when it's colder but the oil looks fine, and also as far as I know I'm not losing any coolant I just get a bunch of it going up the dipstick. I don't really have any at the filler neck though.

As already mentioned in this thread, test your purge system. A malfunctioning purge system can cause the gunk to build up. Short trips will exacerbate the problem.

Ok I think that is probably the problem I was just wondering because I hadn't heard anyone talk specifically about the dipstick only the filler neck. I was worried it was coolant seals. But I'm not losing coolant as far as I know and it's too cold out to tell if there is extra smoke at startup. Anyways I'll test my purge system when I get a chance.
