If the dipstick and sump are clear, then did you clean off the cap and the cream keeps coming back? How does the car run? Sometimes cars will have a little cream inside the cap normally

That may even be residual moisture coming out of the engine. Id clean it out with some good soap and watch it. A little is ok and is quite normal
