Clean off the cap and see if it re-appears.
Check the dipstick. Is the oil in the pan normal? If the oil in the pan is normal, that is just conendsation. If the oil in the pan is also "creamy"...you're in deep cracked block/warped head/blown headgasket crap.

if its this buttery yellowish creamy stuff, then what your looking at is condensation in your engine, lots of cars do it, jeeps are some trucks are realllllly bad for it, best bet is to do a engine flush to remedy that, cleans all the carbon and sludge build up in your engine/oil pan and also takes care of the condensation pretty well too

while it does look like a coolant leak problem i just wanted to state this also as a maybe
when i was working at hyundai we switched owners and larry h. miller bought out the company
for the first like 6months i was there we went from valvoline to kendall oil
kendall oil is a "restored" oil meaning its recycled oil
i had my oil changed there once cuz i was lazy and when i went to change the oil
that stuff is nasty its all black already and i had foam in the oil like that but only a slightly darker color
i used some gunk engine flush and changed my oil back to mobil proclean and it went away
maybe they used the same oil 33.gif
