    Condensation under oil cap

    Just had a look under the oil cap on my 07 Caddy and noticed some condensation and some white/tan coloured oil near the top of the spout.

    Anyone know if this is normal, should I be concerned?

    BTW I checked the oil on the dip stick and it was fine.

    If you do short trips than this is normal. You need to drive at least 20min with the oil at operating temperature for the condensation to go away.
