Default oil/fuel question

alright, looked around a little and this isn't making sense to me. situation is as follows: i had my radiator out for a repair, and had started my car a few times and moved it around without any coolant in it, but never let it warm up.

So last week i take my oil cap off and theres a slight whitish/brown foamy stuff in it. So far seems like a head gasket, which doesn't make sense but i dunno werider stuff has happened. So i pull the valve cover to get a better look and the valvetrain is covered in this light brown stuff but smells nothing like burnt coolant, just a strong fuel smell. And how could it be coolant in the oil if theres no coolant in the block.

I get the radiator back put it in fill up the coolant and take the car out for a few, runs fine for what it is (untuned), no over heating issues, the over flow tank is right where it was when i filled it up. I do a compression test and get the same numbers as always 235 all the way across and it holds on each cylinder.

I think i awnsered my own question but i'd iek to see what you guys think or if you've expierenced this. I think its just excess fuel in the oil and it just made a shitty mixture

that is just condensation from not being run in a few days. don't worry about it

just run the car so the oil gets up to operating temprature and it will go away.
