tan gunk under my oil cap

1997 jetta gl
I went to change the oil, noticed a tan gunk stuck to my oil cap, any thoughts? I have had no change in performance, and no repairs in the year i've owned her.

Check all you're fluids, are you losing any? What's this gunk look, feel, and smell like? If it's anything like antifreeze, get to a garage.

Normal accumulation for 2.0.

Normally caused by lots of short trip driving or excessive miles on oil changes (4-5Kmiles)
