I just bought my 2001 V70 off the internet and from New Jersey!
The car is great just as advertized. However, when I checked the oil before I drove it home(the car was transported to California) I noticed the dipstick had some rust on it and the tube appeared rusted as well.
I also surmised that since this was an east coast vehicle the moisture explanation sounds plausable. To remove the corrosion, I just flushed some engine oil down the tube, the filter will trap the rest.
