1965 Volkswagen Beetle 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

I have found a light colored substance in the oil filler cap of my 1965 VW 1600. I believe it is caused by condensation. What can I do about this and is there anything I can do about this?

when was last time oil changed?

you might have damage on your seals. excessive water in gas or a bad headgasket.

also be a crack in a line. bad grommets for pcv valve and breather valve.

or just simply from heating and cooling of the engine.
