does this look normal? just pulled the oil filler cap for the first time today just out of curiosity, but the 04 C4S used, 43K miles, 1 owner car. To me that looks like coolant res, oil dipstick and the coolant itself appears clean... any thoughts? thanks

My 2002 looks a hell of a lot worse. It's normal. It's water vapor that collects at the cap. Not to worry.
