It is a very big deal. Most likely you are the latest reciipent of the upper intake manifold failure.
Drain the oil asap and try to determine how much coolant is in it.

Its possible that the intake may be having issues... But On my 95, if we have cool weather and the car makes a few short trips, plenty of condensation always appears on my oil cap... I usually let the engine get good and hot to burn off the moisture..
Is the car using any coolant?

I'm with Jr's3800 on this. It could just be condensation. If the oil itself looks perfectly fine then you should be alright. Definately check to see if your coolant leven has dropped though.

Si it had the upgraded parts when it was rebuilt.... I take it a ruptured intake was the cause of the rebuild?

I agree with Don...I've had a car that on one cold morning had a milkiness on the cap. Scared me to death. Pull the dipstick..if it'* back change the oil and run it around...keep an eye on it.

The moisture under the cap is normal for cold weather... Just drive the car a good bit longer and the moisture should burn off... May be a good time for an oil change if you haven't done one in a while..

If the dipstick doesn't show anything then you should top off the coolant and keep a watch on the dipstick for milky white..then dismiss as condensation.
Good call Don
