What the hell is on my oil cap!!!! I recently had a H/C swap done by a very top notch well known Speed shop back in August. It did and IS running great. I've only driven it 1800 miles since I brought it home from having the work done so I kept an eye on my oil level. No problems. I checked it about a week ago and saw that it could use about half a quart. I took it out this morning for about 10 miles, brought it home and checked the oil again and decided to add the half quart. Now keep in mind, at this point, the cap hasn't been off since the H/C swap. When I pulled the cap off, these 2 pictures is what I saw. Somebody pease tell me that since the car has been running great, that this milky film is just blow back or something from the swap!!! Help!!

I know this is a sign of water in the oil and blown head gaskets but the car runs fine!! I don't get it. I guess I plan on wiping it all off and driving a little bit and keep checking the cap?

I haven't changed the oil since the install. It's only been driven about 1800 miles and the work was done in August so I there was no need to change it, maybe I should?

It happens, condensation tends to build up there because its a high point(see heat rises) and mixes with the oil. As long as your not finding it on your dipstick you should be fine.

We see this all the time and more so when it's cooler out.
note : The oil was changed in shop after his H/C package was done. We always do a heat cycle, coolant and then change the oil prior to tuning.
