Phlegm in My Oil Tank Options

[silver six]

When I went to check the oil level in my oil tank I noticed that there was a white, phlegm like substance coating the fill tube. It looked like the oil became foamy and began coughing up this white creamy subtance. There wasn't a whole lot of it, just some around the mouth and throat of the fill tube. What is this stuff? Should I be concerned?

I recently put a quart of regular oil in. The previous owner may or may not have used synthetic and so I'm not sure what was/is in the tank before I filled with natural 10-40.

Any ideas? Does my Porsche have bronchitis?

But a likely cause is simple condensation.

I have the same thing in my six.
It's condensation.
I put a oil catch can in my engine compartment and that catches a lot of condensation too.
I have empty it every so often and it contains mostly water.
I found the amount of water it contains depends on the day/days that the car has been driven.
If it's a high humidity day then there is more water/condensation.

Other that than I wipe out the goo.

This occurred with all the engines that I have had in my car which is two.
