Is this something to worry about?
Checked my oil today, found this. Engine is running fine, no problems at all, no codes, no smoking from exaust. Some people have told me this on the oilcap is a problem others say its normal, so I guess i'm trying to figure out if it is or not???? Thanks. And sorry for the crappy pic, phone cam...

I can't see the oil cap very well but if its just the white stuff your worried about its normal.
Engines that get started and stopped a lot on short drives will develop white crap on the oil cap, moisture in the oil will also do this. You might wanna check your intake lines for oil build up and if there is change your PCV valve because moisture could be making its way into the oil this way, even though it won't harm the engine.
