What's this whiteish substance on the inside of my oil fill tube?

Kind of powdery.

Looks like the typical foam that's from condensation (produced by shorter drives, when sustained temperatures are insufficient to evaporate) that has dried to a crusty consistency. Inspect carefully for intermix (just to be extra safe - unlikely). Doubtful any real reason for concern.

Thank you!

Checked filler cap, nothing but pink pristine liquid.

Relieved - and yes, it was after a shorter drive.

Did I mention I bought this car from Pablo Escobar's collection?

Thanks for the link.

Now that we're getting into the warmer weather, the filler tube "Mayo/Crack Cocaine" should disappear until the weather gets cold again (i.e. - it's condensation...it won't happen when the filler tube is warm...)

Sorry bout that, but glad to help you laugh on a Friday!

Yeah that "Mayo/Crack Cocaine" can be a dookie starter for a lot of newbies. Myself included when I first came across it. I practically shart in my pants.

I saw it and thought "intermix!"

Then I went inside and took a shower and put on fresh underwear.

Those are the car's tears that it's not being driven enough.
