Hi, I have a 71 bay and noticed there is some white residue on the oil filler cap. Is this anything to worry about?

Thanks den
 
Might suggest the seal on the oil filler cap needs replacing, or a split oil breather pipe. Or if your running a pancake filter and have one of the tiny pancake filters on the oil breather then you'll get the white gunk all the time and should fit a proper air filter and breather pipe.
 
Short runs or too heavy a weight oil, like 20/50, will do it. You need to get the motor to proper operating temperature to vaporise the moisture and the air-cleaner should take care of the rest.
