Do not worry.
It is a normal thing to see what they call "lung mustard" on the filler cap of the Oil tube.
It is Condensation film.The engine heats up and cools down and it creates a little condensation.It mixes with the oil vapors and shows up as that "White Goo".

It's worth making a quick check of your purge valve just to make sure it is functioning properly though. Only takes a few minutes. The procedure is in the Haynes/FSM.
