Default Tan creamy gunk on breather bolts

Just took my a/c off and came across something I have never seen. One of the breather bolts was coated with a tan creamy substance. Almost looked like watered down peanut butter. Should I be worried???

Just moisture working its way out probably. Should be fine.

It kind of sounds like the oil vapor that does come out of the breather bolts has mixed with a little water vapor or some condensation and formed an emulsified film on the breather bolts. Just wipe it off and you should be OK. Good luck and ride safe.

Yep just some moisture. Do you ride short trips to work or? need to get the bike up to temp to burn off the stuff.

Thanks guys. Kinda figured it was some sort of water or moisture. Just wanted to make sure. I have never had anything like this before.
