This problem is well documented. It's just condensation mixed with oil vapors. Drive your car more, for longer distances and the goo goes away.

Get the engine up to hot operating temp more often and the issue goes away.
The best DIY fix available.

Moisture will build up if the engine is driven short trips and never warms fully , like 5 minute trips. Running a
motor for longer periods will get the moisture out of it.
Letting something sit has alot of negative effects on everything,
Drive the car but I'm not talking about a ride in stop and go traffic. Get out on the freeway and go for a good 30 min drive. That will get rid of the condensation which causes the milky stuff around the filler neck.
