I was checking my oil the other day and there was this white thick substance on the bottom portion of the dip stick. the oil was fine just that white stuff was on the tip, not all over. I've never seen that before in all my40+ years of driving can anyone help me on what it could be.
Thanks

That white sticky substance is usually a moisture buildup in the oil system.

Would recommend doing an oil change and monitoring the oil for any changes.
