Default Foam On The Dip Stick

All,

Scary situation today, I changed the rear brake pads and decided to check the oil level and the dip stick came up with white foam on it. Hoping the head gasket is not about to blow... The level on the dip stick is normal and the car is not consuming water so I am wonering if there is a non-head gasket cause. Maybe just moisture in the crank case because it is winter...

Any ideas...

Sorry Mac, no knowledge of any problems like this on my end. Maybe you should change the oil and filter and check it again in 500 miles.
