The white spooge-like stuff in the filler cap is normal from the moisture building up. I have it on my 93 and on my 83. I have also seen in on a Lexus LS400 I recently worked on, so it's nothing about which to worry.

Not to scare you or anything Benny. But, guys are you sure it's allright for it to look like that? That looks like some coolant got into the oil? Check your coolant Benny just to make sure.
