My guess is short trips and motor not up to temperature long enough to
release the water. The 200 mile ride might be overdoing it but a 20 to 50
mile one will tell the story. If it's gone after the ride then it's just
the short trips.

Looks to me that someone put lithium grease on the cap thread so it would
come off easier. Suggest you wipe this crap off and drive the car for a day
or so; see if it recurs. Also, look into the hole at the lubricant on the
lifters; does it look just like the stuff on the cap?

I looked and I couldn't see this white stuff nowhere else but on the
cap. And there can be nothing on the cap because I changed oil recently
myself, and car was not at any mechanic since.
