Question A little smoke from oil dipstick???

This past weekend I decided to check my oil dipstick for the color & condition of the oil. I drove about 10 miles doing some errands. When I got home I pulled out the dipstick & noticed some smoke coming out of the oil dipstick hole. I had my oil changed about 2000 miles ago & the PCV system was changed in 2007. The smoke was not a lot but I was just curious if this should worry me? My 2001 S60 has 102,000 miles on it. I bought it in 2007 with 96,000 miles & have kept up with all the maintenance. I don't use synthetic on my S60 since the previous owner didn't. What should I do? Go get a new oil change & have them drop the oil pan & clean it out and switch to synthetic? All advise is greatly appreciated! Thanks

That does not sound like anything to worry about.
