Milky dipstick.

Anyone experience a milky substance in there dipstick tube? When i drain the oil it's perfectly normal. I pulled off the fill cap and its normal too. I'm not losing any coolant and dont see any way water is getting in the engine. any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm new to rotories, understand the fundmentals but don't know all the in's and out's.
TIA,
Bryan

Please read the sticky thread on this, and other subjects. Your question gets asked 2x a day it seems and has been asked since 2004.

I appreciate the info, still not sure how to use the search function on this site yet! Sorry to be such a nooby, but I'm a quick learner. Thanks for your patience!

My car is an 04, only owned it a month. little bit depressed with the mpg 22.1, but it handles awesome, just like my 81 rx7 but with more power! I found the search button....now I have alot of reading to do!
Thanks again!
