Default Problem or no problem!?! Anyone know what this is?

Well the other day while installing the plenum spacer i took off my oil cap and noticed a yellow liquidy sludge around the oil cap and the funnel the oil cap locks on to. Anyone know what that could be or if its harmful? I was thinking maybe coolant leaked into it but i'm not sure. Any help would be great. If this helps in solving what this is there was a time when I revved the motor alot to burn gas to get into HIN and i revved it soo much that my oil catch can was smoking and my car was all boggy. However, after that show i changed my oil and but i don't think i wiped the top and i don't know if it was there before or after the show. Could it have just been the boiling oil or is there something wrong? Thanks!

It looks like you might have water in your oil, that could be a cracked head

I'm sure its not a cracked head but rather a blown head gasket. Check your coolant, see if there is oil in there. If there is then you blew your head gasket.
