white slime/sludge in oil

I've got a 95 Dak 4X4 5.2L CC SLT, 71k miles.
Checked the oil this weekend for the first time in about a month
(ok, but its been cold here in Iowa). Found some white slime
in with the oil on the dipstick. Opened the filler cap and
found it on the inside of the filler cap and valve cover.

Is it (at worst) a head gasket leak- I've had no overheating
and my coolant level is ok, or (at best) a bad batch of oil
and some paraffin has separated out?

I usually only drive a couple miles to work and back, so maybe it could be
due to not ever getting hot...

Email me if you have any ideas or common experiences...

Kev
