Not sure if this is a problem but an FD501V has some white paste on the inside of one of the valve covers what does this mean. Everything else looks clean. 400 hours on the engine and just changed the oil around 390 hours with Royal purple API 5w-30. I did put a little bit of BG's MOA in it. Am i doing something wrong here? I wiped it off and put the cover back on.
 
Sounds like the oil isn't getting up to temp often enough or long enough to burn the moisture off, it happens.
If it were a coolant leak the oil itself would have been milky. I think its okay.

White paste in the valve cover is usually caused by water condensation and the engine not running long enough to get up to running temperature. Not really a big deal if you change the oil regularly. Just make sure to run the engine up to temp on a regular basis.
