Should also say the car only travels 5 miles on a morning and 5 miles on a night through the week. So oil isn't getting very warm. |

Almost certainly caused by condensation due to the engine not getting hot enough.

Took it to my local land Rover place with a different issue and they said its unlikely to be condensation build up as big runs on a weekend when the engine gets up to full working temperature would cause the water to evaporate off and it's more like to be an issue with the intercooler/inter cooler seals. |

Not sure why they would say that driving 100 - 150 miles on a weekend would stop the condensation build up. The 10 miles you drive on a week day creates the condensation that in turn causes some oil contamination to show on the filler cap you have mentioned. You could drive 1000 miles the next day but the contamination would still be there, it would only go if you wiped the filler cap clean. |

When you say near are you saying inside the filler cap or out side on the engine cover ? Picture may help but if its on inside of filler cap it could be using cheap oil. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years FL2 MY13 TD4 GS Current |

The man I spoke to at the garage said to me he thought it was unlikely because I have had the same commute for two years and its only just become a problem. He also said that my weekend drive would prevent the condensation building quickly and if it was due to condensation it would be much more likely to have occurred during winter time rather than the summer months.
