moisture in oil cap

I always get moisture under the cap, could the cap seal be the cause? The seal looks flattened out and useless. Is it worth the effort to make an order just for that or am I looking in the wrong place.

It's kinda normal unfortunatly. Some oils just do this. I used to see it a lot with Penzoil for some reason.

Im using castrol syntec. It seems to have gotten worse than it used to be.

How are your AOS seals? Have seen issues when those are worn too.

In most instances I'd say clean it off and see if it returns. Other than that, not sure. Cooler weather and short trips instead of long ones ALWAYS causes moisture.
