Smoke coming out of oil dip stick tube.

I stopped today to fill it up with fuel and I checked the oil level. I noticed when I pulled the dip stick out, there was smoke coming out of the oil dip stick tube. I have never seen this before, so could there be something wrong? The car only has 1111 miles on it today.

Thanks!
Mark

It was in the mid 70's to low 80's when I checked it.

It's a closed system.. there is no place for the "smoke" to go.

It's nothing to worry about.
