the PCV warranty "fix" was done about two years ago -- done gratis by the dealer 'cause they liked me. (That is the fix they now undo, but only if there is excessive oil loss; my car loses nearly zero in 5K intervals.) I worried about the head gasket or some other leak too. That is one color nobody wants to see in the oil. But it was always in the filler tube walls, near the top as far as I can figure. I bugged the dealer svc manager about it. But, the oil was and has been fine otherwise, and the dealer wrenches said it was just condensation. There is no cream colored goo in mild to hot weather at all. In my case, I have to say the condensation in the filler tube appears to be the result of the well intended PCV fix done about two years ago and not from any gasket leak. 86K on the car now.
