Default Oil cap gunk, coolant?

Been fighting waterfall for months. Nothing seems to bleed the system
My oilfiller cap had a yelliwish/brownish reside.see picture attached


If I didn't know better I'd say coolant in oil, no?

Thanks in advance.

I should also follow up that the oil in the dipstick is perfectly normal and quite clean.

Its probably just moisture. I've had a lot of engines do this, especially in colder weather.

Check the dip stick and see if there is any type of moisture on there. If no, you are good.

Clean out the plastic PCV valve if you have a V8.
Better yet, remove the black PCV valve and do the Best4x4 PCV mod.

I have the airlift tool, still can't seem to get all the air out. It'll hold vacuum so I don't think there's a leak.
