Default Smoke coming from oil filler cap

I was checking around the engine bay after a recent drive and was surprised at the amount of heat from the engine bay.....I know it's pretty tight in the bay and there seems to be little room for the heat to dissipate.

I removed the engine filler cap and noticed smoke coming from the filler spout (engine was not running) and also from the spout after I removed the dipstick

Has anyone else noticed this???

Just to confirm that the car was not driven hard prior to me checking this and the check took place within a few minutes after the car was turned off.
