Yes, don't worry about it if it's white mayo/goo. You tend to see it during the winter months if it has not run much, just condensation.

I’ve took it far a long run and no sign of any deposits on oil filler/cap,so it’s most likely condensation from cold and short runs. I did remove the oil cap while the engine was idling and noticed light puffs of air gently blowing from the engine,is this an issue,I’ve always thought it should suck air and not puff out of there?
