Under the Oil Cap
The other day I was adding some oil to my 2002 Impala LS and when I looked under the oil cap I saw a creamy mustard colored type residue under the cap. Does anyone know what that may mean?

creame
a lot of engine's with a few miles on them that do not get driven enough to fully warm up seam to get a build up there and the valve covers .the moisture in the crankcase is not getting purged out with the blow buy gasses it's a natural thing with age ,do you do a lot of city driving and short hop's ?do you change the oil on a regular scedule to help keep it clean inside
