Default white oil sludge

I have a 1998 A4 2.8 87000 miles. the car runs great but it has been the last two oil changes that i been noticing white sludge build up in the oil fill cap and the dip stick. can anyone explain. I'v owned this vehical 8yrs know and i purchased it with 26000mi and never had that problem. i change the oil every 3000mi.

Default RE: white oil sludge

Your getting water or water vapor in the crankcase. Check for cracked breather hoses. Especially the one that goes from the right bank to the left bank.
