I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, but it happened on my Jeep a
few years ago. The oil dipstick had worked loose, and I drove through some
wet spots (OK, I was puddle jumping in water up over the wheels<g>). The
water went into the crankcase through the dipstick tube and caused the same
white gunk.

You mean that you are not supposed to be putting water in your crank case?
