As long as the dipstick is good, and no oil inside the Coolant Overflow Resivoir (or in the radiator), then it's just condensation. Clean it off with some papertowels and you'll be okay.
You might also want to check your PCV valve to see if it's gummed up, and the Valve Breather (to the right of the PCV) to make sure they are not gummed up with that stuff. (if you hit a warm spell and feel like working on your car. Not a requirement)

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

NO oils on the market is recycled....Recycled oils cost more money to Rerefine.
