I remember seeing a similar goo in my 70 bug oil funnel. I vagely remember reading on a forum what caused it, but just can't remember now.
I have my tranny at Dr Evil's shop so i decided to drain the oil and add the taco plate with a sender today. oil in the pan is fine but when i went to re- fill i found a brown mayo in the funnel. Anyone know what causes this?   |

That looks like condensation to me, vehicles that don't get warm enough due to really short trips can have that, not uncommon up here. I would change my oil and wipe as much of that stuff off with a paper towel. When you get things back working good get your engine good and warm and run it long enough to burn any more moisture, say 30 minute drive, then check your oil again when the engine has cooled off and see what it looks like.
