Have you noticed any contamination on the dipstick? Let me know. Also, have you ever replaced the PCV valve? If it's plugged, it will cause condensation in the engine.

no, I haven't noticed any contamination on the dipstick so that's why I was wondering what that white stuff could be.. i haven't checked the valve but 3 months ago I had all the gaskets, hoses, & spark plugs etc. changed. I can't be sure but i'll check pcv valve tomorrow. can it possibly plug on its own? if it's not that what else could it be?
