Default Found A Surprise. Need some Input!!!!

So my 94 integra has been sitting all winter and collecting dust. Ive done some small things to it such as new timing belt, alt belt and waterpump, and new brakes. Well its in paint right know and I purchased a JDM valve cover as a spare. So i got to the shop to change valve covers and I see brown milky oil. Only on top of the oil caps and on the underside of the valve cover!! Its not chunky or thick its just milky brown. The dipstick looks like regular oil nice and golden. Now my question is do you think that it is just moisture of a blown headgasket. I searched and from other posts it seems to be just moisture but right know Id rather get some opinons. Thanks

How are your coolant levels? Also what are your climare levels. becase it could just be from moisture in the oil because of cold weather.

Yeah well in the winter when it was sitting it was between 0-35 degrees. Im up in here in northern idaho. It was started about once a month but has been moved everyday for the last 2 weeks just to get it in and out of the shop!! What should i do to check and make sure that it is just moisture.
