Waxy substance inside oil filler cap
I have been noticing a white waxy substance building up on the inside of the oil filler cap. I overfill the oil pan by about two thirds of a quart in accordance with the manual when I do track days. I am wondering if the crank is whipping the oil into a froth and the white stuff is separated paraffin - any ideas?

Not sure about this, I know that a brownish foamy coating is a sign of coolant in the oil, not sure about the white stuff though? I'm sure someone else will come up with an answer for you though.
