Unhappy cream on top

Hi All,
Well I have heard bits and pieces about it over time but I need to hear the real lowdown, break it to me easy please!

My 3.2 has a little cream sitting on the refill cap, the oil's clean thankfully. It has been incredibly cold here this winter (-24C) and a daily driver. What's the verdict?

Thanks again,

Bezza

Sounds to me like it's just not getting hot enough to evaporate all the moisture in the system.

Condensation. I would get it up to operating temps then change the oil and drive it. if you drive short trips, make them longer. YMMV

Typical cold weather phenomena - not a problem.
