When i picked the bike up it had milky oil on the cap, i had a discount for it. But i wiped it off and run it and it aint come back, could it be that it was because he stored it in a cold garage and moisture/cold made the oil the colour?, he hadnt used it for a while

itll just be condensation. bikes need the oil to get quite hot otherwise condensate builds up quick and easy mines terrible for it.

just keep an eye on the water levels incase it is a headgasket problem but id be surprised if it was anything sinister.
