If you do much short trip driving, the engine doesn't really get up to operating temp long enough to get rid of moisture in the crank case. That could be a reason for the "mustard" you see.

You're asking a guy who posted that 5 years ago.
It's possible he could still be on the forum.
But Rj has left us.
