It's unlikely you'll see water from the drain plug. Oil absorbs water pretty well, despite the 'oil and water' analogy. Yes, if you've got lots and lots of water, you'll get water first. But all it takes is a few percent (like 2-3% water) to get milkly glop. An again, the top of the dipstick doesn't get hot - any goop that forms up there is going to stay up there, or at least until winter passes. I assume the oil at the bottom of the dipstick, the oil pan oil, is OK.
Get a new dipstick cap gasket. It wouldn't hurt to replace the PCV valve in case it is leaking.
