It could be a blown head gasket or "just" condensation in the crankcase. Since 80% of engine wear occurs upon starting the engine, any moisture on the inside of the engine may cause corrosion on the bearings and cylinder walls. This corrosion will act like sandpaper on the fine tolerances inside the internal moving parts.
If the head gasket is leaking coolant into the oil, you should be able to smell antifreeze on the oil cap. If it is condensation, you still do not want it in there. Engine oil that does not reach the boiling temperature of water may not vaporize all the condensation that accumulates in the crankcase. This water in the oil problem could be caused if the crankcase is not venting properly, such as a bad PCV value. Whichever is happening, you would be wise to solve this problem. I would change my oil immediately.

Evaporated oil that has condensed. Check your PCV valve and replace as necessary. This is a sign of a bad PCV valve. Replace quickly because the pressure of the evaporated oil has to come out some where. Usually the evaporated oil blows through weak gaskets and seals. The pcv valve is located on the right side of the engine (left side of the throttle body when viewed while standing in front of the truck) connected to the rear segment of the valve cover.

the people telling you ,that you have moisture due to water in your oil are probablly right -not a blown head gasket or you would have mentioned greater problems than some yellow ooze-such as probable engine noise , excessive smoke , poor performance , etc.-i would with the to many short trips answer or the sticking pcv answer but by what you asked i really dobt its a head gasket problem

the oil vapors under the valve cover, are mixing with moisture.
Nothing too serious, just means the crank case is not breathing the way it ought to.
take your PCV[ polution control valve] out and shake it. if there is no rattle in side of it, replace it with a new one.

Water in the oil.
Perhaps nobody told you about Dodges . . .
Problems go in before the name goes on.
