Default Hot Engine oil dip stick??

I am wondering if this is normal - I pulled into the gas station to fill up and like always checked the oil ... upon doing so the dipstick was extremely hot and steam was coming out of the dipstick tube.... I have not seen this before and was wondering what could be causing this? Is it something to worry about????
