Milky oil on inside of cap

Hi forum, I did my valve clearances today and when I took the large cap off of the crank case to get to the crank I noticed the inside of it has gone milky so has been exposed to water somehow. The oil that leaks out when you are turning the engine over looked fine it was just on the inside of this cap. Sorry for the crappy picture but you get the idea. If it is only on the inside of this cap and not in the stuff that was leaking out is it unlikely that I have a problem? Should I drain the engine to be sure? Thanks.
