From what i remember of my vivaro,the other cap is the oil filer cap,if there is white sludge it means water has got in,could just be on the edges of the cap,worth checking the dipstick see if the oil looks good.

I recently sold a big petrol merc and I only noticed when the bloke come to pick it up the oil filler cap had some creamy white sludge on it and around it, the actual oil in the engine from the dipstick was all nice and clean though. The only thing i could think was moisture from somewhere and the engine not been run hot for a while.
