Lots of FWD brick owners complain about deposits on their dipsticks in the winter. Do a search to read some.

I think that this is due to the dipstick tube being out front, staying cool in the winter and attracting condensation.

It is also quite difficult to clean the inside of this tube, although it is easy to clean the dipstick. When I cleaned the tube with narrow strips of rag wound around my dipstick, the condensation took quite a while to return, in my mind confirming my supposition.
