Hey, I just checked mine this morning!! Same F'n thing, But don't worry it
won't hurt the engine, not that little amount, I think its from condensation
in that big filler tube. I am going to take it to the dealer. Also, I'm
gonna call a friend who is a Chrysler Mechanic and see if is aware of this.
I pulled my dipstick and there was NO sign of water in there, I really think
it is condensation!!

W --- T --- F !!!!!!!! THIS IS NOT COOL! I just finally got a chance to
run out and look at mine and OH MY GOD! I pulled the filler cap off and
looked in there! THAT S$#T SUCKS! I've got a yellowish, greenish,
greyish sludge all the way around the filler neck (not just the front) and
down almost to where I can't see the end (about 6 or so inches down the
neck) When I took the cap off there's beads of water all coating the
inside of the neck and the inside of the cap which ran down out of sight
when I opened it! (from disturbing it I suppose!). THIS IS WAY NOT COOL!
I'm calling my dealer about this NOW! Just so I've got some ammo, what
kind of damage can having water in my oil do to my engine?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I can't believe this!!!
BTW - Thanks for the heads up Rick! I've changed my oil twice already (at
5000 miles now) and have not noticed this before!
Nate.
