It's totally gone at the moment, which seems to point to condensation. Lots of it. I kept wiping off what collected for 3 days and by tonight there's really no sign of it. The oil looks fine.
To be accurate, it was mayo-like stuff on the filler neck and cap which kept scraping onto the stick every time I checked the oil, although it was always distinct from the oil, which looked OK.
What threw me off was that a hard 125 mile run didn't burn it all off.
I guess the intentionally short trips while waiting for the pump o-ring parts to come plus the recent cold snap created the perfect goo storm.
At least that's the story I'm sticking to as long as I'm not losing coolant.
