Why is my car’s oil cap milky white?
I checked my oil today, and the cap is milky white, which would lead me to believe it’s the head gasket. When checking the dipstick, it is normal oil colored and when taking the radiator cap off to check for bubbles, it is normal coolant colored with no bubbles. Please advise. My car has 160000 miles. My car has a manual transmission.
Is it bad to clean the oil cap?
Use caution when cleaning an engine. Use low pressure and be careful not to spray directly at your seals or inlets like the oil cap, power steering fluid cap, transmission dip stick and air intake. Moisture in these areas can do more harm than good. Dirt on the outside of an engine does far less harm than moisture in the engine.

Why is there no coolant in the crankcase oil?
If there is not a sign of coolant or water in the crankcase oil, then more than likely it is condensation. If it is coolant, it would also reside in the crankcase. Condensation will build a sludge in the valve cover,oil cap and dipstick, not necessarily all of them.
