with 150k on it. Mech said if the weather is cold where you live, & you drive less than 5 miles round trip often when its cold, combustion blow-by contains some water vapor, and the PVC system's job is to purge these vapors from the crankcase. Sometimes this moisture condense on the cold dipstick and forms the milky sludge you see. If you are not losing coolant, and there is no orange crud in your radiator tank, the milky substance may disappear whens the weather warms up. The fastest way to check is to let the engine cool, take off the valve cover and take a quick look.
